Why does my Samsung Galaxy S6 add an extra period when typing words after periods?

My samsung g6 (when typing an email) recently started adding an extra period when i type a word after a series of periods..... i have to type my starting letter twice before it shows.

Agreed.  Equipment: S7 Active SM-G891A w/6.0.1 on ATT.  Activated 5 wks ago; ~ 3 wks ago noticed Samsung default keyboard will type "hn.." when I clearly type "hn.g" (part of email address).  Reset to defaults did not fix.  Worked correctly initially.  After being frustrated, switched to Swiftkey which immediately fixed issue. Unclear if it is related to a OTA push or a bug/setting that manifested itself overnight after several weeks of operation. 



Hi there. Are you tapping space twice after a period? Also, can you tell me which keyboard app you are using?
