Description

In To/Cc/Bcc fields, typing an email address followed by a space does NOT behave like typing coma or semicolon after address.

To Reproduce

  1. Start writing an email, go to the 'To' field
  2. Type a new email address followed by a coma or a semicolon, and observe that the address is immediately validated (replaced by an image)
  3. Type a new email address followed by a space, and observe that the address is not replaced by an image

Expected behavior
Typing space after an email address should behave the same way as typing a coma or semicolon.

Environment:

  • K-9 Mail version: 5.727
  • Android version: 10

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields on the listed K-9 Mail version and Android environment. Compare address validation after a comma or semicolon with validation after a space. Done means typing a space after an email address immediately validates and replaces it in the same way as the other separators.
