Spaces in a query parameter are not taken into account

[amanfromfrance]

Expected Behavior

When typing a string that contains spaces as the value of a query parameter, it is expected that the string is exactly what has been typed in.

For example, if the query parameter is used to pass a geographical address to the API method and I type the following address:

Rue de la Rigourdière, 35510 Cesson-Sévigné

Then it is expected that the value of the query parameter is this address:

Actual Behavior

However it is not the current behaviour: spaces are not taken into account and the query parameter value looks like the print screen below after typing all the characters on the keyboard:

One has to either go back/up into the string using the mouse pointer and/or using the backspace key multiple times in order to make Insomnia accept one single space. Which is pretty annoying.

This behaviour appeared recently but could be observed at least in the previous release.

Reproduction Steps

1. Add a query parameter
2. Type a string that contains spaces
3. Confirm that all spaces are missing from the string

Is there an existing issue for this?

Same behaviour for body>Multipart

Every time I need a "space" I have to copy and paste it from another place 🤦

How could it be possible that a problem like this remain open for over a 6 months!?

Version 11.0.2, Windows x64, also happening to me. This is incredibly frustrating, spaces just get eaten. I can sometimes make it allow me to enter a space by clicking on the UI elements first, but entering in any query parameters that include spaces is very annoying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue... and at the same time it's also sad to see that more than 6 months later it hasn't been solved.

But at least it's been acknowledged as now the status is set to verified, that's a good start!

[notjaywu]

Thanks for the reporting. We are looking into this issue. For now, you can use Bulk Edit as a workaround.

Thanks @notjaywu

In Body > Form Data/Multipart there isn't the "Bulk edit" functionality. I've checked the version, it's 11.0.2, the lastest.

This issue stems from a bug in react-aria. I've submitted an issue to them, and I'm looking for a workaround to solve it. https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/issues/8104
