Cannot create Items with space via Editor

I cannot create items which contain a space in the name. Like creating an object called "Longtest Longtest" only lets me add an object with the name "Longtest ".

Hey David Jaggi, thanks for reporting this — we’ve looked into the issue and it turns out it’s caused by how Android handles typing suggestions from the keyboard.
What’s happening: when you type something like “Longtest Longtest”, the second “Longtest” is still in a kind of “pending” mode (underlined, not yet fully inserted), because Android’s keyboard is waiting for you to confirm the suggestion — usually by pressing space, enter, or tapping the suggestion itself. Until that happens, the word isn’t officially part of the text input, and we can’t access it through code.
Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the Android keyboard system (called the IME), and not something we can control from our side. The browser doesn’t give us any way to force that suggestion to be inserted — even if you click on an action in the dropdown, Android keeps the suggestion in limbo unless you explicitly confirm it.
We know it’s not ideal, and we’re exploring workarounds to make this smoother. For now, the best way to ensure your full text is captured is to confirm the suggestion by hitting space or tapping the word before selecting an action in the dropdown.
Thanks again for pointing it out — it’s super helpful as we try to polish the experience on Android!

How do you create the object? Could you share a short screen recording?
