It's not quite that clear-cut - implementing this proposal would inflict  
compulsory mutiple spaces on people who don't want them but insert extras  
by mistake. Either they would have to go to the source view to delete the  
unwanted spaces or Amaya would have to have an option for deleting them  
automatically.

An option in the preferences for or against collapsing multiple spaces is  
the easiest solution.
