Same here, it is infuriating. It also isn't very good for languages which contract words such as Danish. In Swype I could hit backspace once to place the cursor at the end of the last word and then swipe to add another word after it, but Gboard just annoyingly insists on "correcting my mistake" and inserts the space back again. I have to manually type in individual letters of all contracted words when writing in Danish.

I really miss Swype. I have tried other keyboards but I have yet to find one that doesn't suck.
