It seems that I got it wrong. The space key in the Pinyin keyboard actually behaves as an input-the-first-entry-in-the-word-list-key. And the first predicted word after [any symbol] is [comma], so we will have a comma while typing space after inputting any symbol.

The spacebar as a shortcut for choosing the first entry in the word list is nice, but only for typing the word directly. After a word has been inputted (either by hitting the spacebar or manually selected from the list), the spacebar should just create a space if hit again, since a chain of auto-predicted-words does not make sense in most cases.

Maybe setting the space as the default (maybe hidden) predicted word could solve this? The user could always select the word manually if it appears in the predicted-word-list.

Edit: Same behaviour in the stroke IM as well :-/
