What happened?

When focusing 'Notes' field to select text - it removes a space in the text on unfocus for some fields.
This messes up rules that involve matching text on notes.

The notes will show:
To 1. Main EndToEndID: FRI From 2. Savings

When the text input is focused, the text in the text input is:
To 1. MainEndToEndID: FRI From 2. Savings

This doesn't happen to all fields,
All my fields are imported from GoCardless/Danske bank - but I am not sure if this is the only instance.

Other potentially useful debugging info.

Network Activity:

When I first click the field, the app sends a POST request named sync.
Clicking the field again doesn't send any requests.
If I click for a 3rd time and edit the text and unfocus, it sends another sync POST request.
The payload looks like this (trimmed and anonymized):

transactions
$<transaction-id>
notes
S:To 1. MainEndToEndID: FRI From 2. Savings

So it seems the initial click is sending off a post request to edit the field and remove the space for some reason?

How can we reproduce the issue?

Open a transaction imported via GoCardless (from a DanskeBank account) - not sure if others are impacted, or if manual ones are impacted I don't have other accounts

Look at the Notes field. e.g.
To 1. Main EndToEndID: FRI From 2. Savings

Click into the Notes field. The text in the input changes to:
To 1. MainEndToEndID: FRI From 2. Savings

Click outside the field - the space stays missing and the change is saved
