Title:
  Undo auto-space insertion when entering special characters

Status in ubuntu-keyboard:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A space is added by default while choosing a word from the word-ribbon
  when auto-suggestion and auto-correction enabled. If the next typed
  character is a punctuation mark the unnecessary space is removed
  automatically. For other special characters the space will remain:
  e.g. at-symbol @, dash -, or underscore _.

  This is very annoying when you're typing email addresses.
  As it is very uncommon to start a word with these characters it would be better to remove the automatically inserted space.

  Remark: Please do not treat them like punctuation marks in every
  circumstances. Auto-suggestion inserts a matching word when choosing a
  punctuation mark while typing a word. This isn't done for other
  special characters. Here is the current behavior very useful.
