I enter text on to an online form, the data needs to be done in a format that you leave a space at the beginning and one space at the end of the text that is filled into each field in the form. Most data being repetitive, it obviously saves time for me to turn on the Auto-fill on and select text, rather than do a Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V from the source. These spaces are not included when I select the same text later again, using the arrows keys. Do I have a fix?

Most programs would remove spaces like that. What are you using for form filling? The one I use, I just open the option and set the data however I want.
