First Paragraph Space Coding Issue

[hookomonhealth]

While placing the first paragraph block on my blog, wordpress is currently encoding spaces into only this first paragraph, which messes with the formatting error. It only does this for the first paragraph block and no others. Had to go into the code editor and delete all the encoded spaces and type the spaces in that editor manually. Please fix this issue. Thanks for your time.

This only happens when typing the first paragraph directly into the new editor. If I type it up in word and copy paste, it automagically formats it correctly.

I expect this is the same as: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/13198

Could you confirm that it's specifically when typing text as italicized, regardless of whether it's the first paragraph or not?
