#### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

When you select a whole word (Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow or Double click), the space behind also gets selected.  
Anytype should not then bold/italicize/underline the space, when you use Ctrl+B/I/U – just like it happens in MS Word.

MS Word:

Anytype:  
 ![underline Anytype](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/e/e6413914d0a5339939d86c5ea32a1c31ed7471aa.gif)

#### HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Don’t allow formatting to spill over text?

#### REAL WORLD USE CASES

I use this constantly when note taking. I have some text, then go back to it to underline some words. Un-underlying the spaces is time consuming.

#### RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

I can think of no alternatives.

#### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

None.
