When in a position that inserting a character causes a cell to widen, pressing space does not widen the cell, but rather inserts a space in a table-nonrecognizing way.

Is this a bug?

To reproduce: Insert a new table. In one of the cells, start typing until the column width begins to increase. Press space.

    This is the expected behavior. The space characters are inserted, or I should say generated, as needed. Technically speaking the space you inserted is taken but before the cell contents are updated the resulted text is filled with spaces automatically. In this process any trailing excess space characters are eliminated.
