The issue also applies to the Description field, which is weird. My guess is that the Title tries to restrict spaces for the reason Terry_Lazer gave, but the restrictions were also applied to the Description field, which feels like an accident.

 

Easier workaround

  1. Type a character into the input box

  3. Type in your Title/Description (you can now add spaces if you want)
  4. When you're done, delete the extra character
