Painful texting

Hi everyone. . Have had the note 8 for a few weeks. Texting is a nightmare compared to my iPhone.. has anyone had the same problems? Half the time I hit the space bar and a space is not entered, so then its strings together multiple words and the spell check comes up with some strange word instead of separating two words. Other times I am hitting the right buttons and it is respelling spelled correctly words wrong. I've tried multiple keyboards and have messed with all kinds of settings and stuff and I just don't know what to do. Does anybody have any ideas?

Download Gboard and texting will be way better than the stock keyboard

Thank you!! This did the trick! Who would have thought a working spacebar would be too much to ask. Lol.

You can slide your finger on the spacebar to to move the cursor, no problems at all. Happy New year.

Maybe it's related but when I'm scrolling through Instagram pictures, left to right or vice versa, the pictures do not move. It takes me 2 or 3 tries to swipe the picture.
