Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
There is a double space after a period in the Import Settings dialog box in iTunes for Mac.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open iTunes.
2. Open Preferences.
3. Go to the General tab.
4. Click Import Settings….

Expected Results:
If the text in the UI has more than one sentence, the sentences will be joined by a single period followed by a single space.

Actual Results:
There are two spaces between “Use this option if you experience problems with the audio quality from Audio CDs.” and “This may reduce the speed of importing.”

Version:
12.7.5.9 for Mac

Notes:
I had a hard time finding precedent for this, sine multiple sentences in Apple UI text are rare, but I found two places that agree with me that there should be one space:
1. In System Preferences → Notifications, there is a single space between the first and second sentence at the top of the preference pane.
2. All of the copy on apple.com uses one space after periods.
