Additional Information

This behavior is as - designed. Non-null text fields require default text which the geodatabase system sets a space. The table control also has to display the space, since it is impossible to determine if the space is from the default provided text or has been input from the user. In the steps that are reported about clicking on the field multiple times, this is what is happening. The first click selects the field, click twice highlights the text(space), and clicking three times places the cursor at the end of the text (in this case, a space) and is being interpreted as skipping ahead. Users must provide default text or change the workflow and stop clicking to the end of the space (i.e 3 times). Click the field once, then click twice and start typing. This has been documented in ArcMap and Pro. http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/geodatabases/defining-feature-class-properties.htm http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/geodatabases/overview/defining-feature-class-properties.htm See Note under "Fields and field properties".
