Description
Hi!
So my prompt has been bugging out for a while now. I.e when I autocomplete something, random spaces will be inserted in random location. But when finishing the prompt, it is displayed differently, most of the time as I wanted it to be displayed.
Example:

I have added two custom shortcuts for adding an extra space when using Spacebar under circumstances, and the same with Enter and double newlines. But I'm not sure how or why this would affect it.

Start by reproducing the prompt autocomplete behavior shown in the linked GIF, including the custom Spacebar and Enter shortcuts. Compare the text while completing the prompt with the final displayed text. Done means autocomplete no longer inserts spaces in unexpected locations and the completed prompt renders as intended.
