 ### Fixed
 
+- Keep typed link and autolink source literal in the saved file when a space follows it, instead of writing it as live Markdown that turns into a link the next time the document is opened.
 - Open the Markdown source of a link whose label holds a footnote reference, instead of leaving it closed everywhere in the label except on the reference itself.
 - Keep a link label that mixes formatted text with a footnote reference as one link, instead of saving it as two links.
 - Open bold, italic, or strikethrough that wraps a link as one Markdown source with the link inside it, instead of one side of the link at a time with markers that do not match the file.
