Period mark being added during email composition

I'm composing an email message, and when I double space a period mark is automatically added, like the system has decided that its the end of a sentence. This is especially frustrating when I'm creating multi-column lists, and I have to backspace to erase the period. Is this a setting somewhere in the Thunderbird "preferences" file, or a global setting that is being picked up?

I'm running Thunderbird 60.9.0 on MacOS Mojave.

Thanks.

I don't think Lightning was the cause, otherwise there would have been many reports like yours. But, sometimes starting in safe mode (which involves more than just disabling add-ons) just once resets some unknown parameters that cures uncommon issues.

If you re-enable Lightning, just for testing, I would not be surprised if the problem remains 'disappeared'.

I've never seen that on any version of TB on Windows - but it works like that on my mobile texting app, by design. Does it happen in TB safe mode (hold Option when you launch TB)?

The problem went away when I restarted in safe mode. The only add-on I had enabled was Lightning and I don't use it, so I disabled it and restarted. The problem seems to have disappeared... not sure why Lightning would've caused it, so I'm still a bit mystified. But looks like problem solved - thanks!
