Flow no longer auto inserting a space
I've noticed that my keyboard no longer inserts a space after the word I type using the flow method. It's quite frankly obnoxious since I use a combination of flow and prediction bar; every time I want to place punctuation, I have to type the character, see that there's now a space between the character and the word, then backspace both and retype the character. In addition, the prediction bar is now useless since it no longer predicts, only shows me the word I just typed. I have been through the meager settings to try and fix this, but to no avail.
This thread is a duplicate of an already on going post. I'm closing this one.

Hello David,
[Quote from Prad] Do you mean you don't like this new method? I understand it may be new to you, but give it a try for a few days and see if your thoughts change.
This is to help improve the Flow experience.
So if you Flow a word, and the Flow is not correct, instead of deleting and starting over, there should be a good chance that one of the other words is the word you meant to type.
So from there, you could just continue typing or Flowing.
Hi David,
Can you please expand a bit more on this punctuation issue. Please list reproducible steps so we can see what you are talking about.
Best,
Ryan
Hello. This is not a bug. This is a new change to SwiftKey Flow feature. I despise it as well. I used to flow and then insert predictions on the go, but this change wrecked the tendency. Also,
Hello,
I've run into a bug, because of the new change in flow typing wherein there is no space inserted after each flown word.
Conditions to reproduce :
-I have enabled the 'autocomplete word by tapping space' option on.
-I go to Google chrome and tap the search bar.
-I flow a word.. Suppose I flow 'SwiftKey'.
-there's a centre prediction, suppose 'Google'.
-then I flow the next word without tapping space.
-'SwiftKey' will be replaced with 'Google' when I start flowing the next word.
This is getting highly irritating. Can you just bring back the space after a flown word?
I agree 100%with what David and others write regarding this new functionality. Word prediction no longer exists now, it only shows me what I just flowed. Useless. Why would you go and mess with something that was working and break it. I just don't get it. Change it back please, else I will need to replace this new junky SwiftKey.
