Hello webmaster,
The ignore double spaces is an option that needs to be looked. To be
honest, I do not know what it does when it is checked. I use double
Stops the occurrence of two or more spaces as word gaps. I don't use
it because it also means you can't have two spaces after a full stop.
I'm old school, I know....
I read somewhere the two space rule between sentences is because a
typewriter could not properly space between sentences. I believe the
typographically correct spacing was something like 1.25 spaces between
sentences.
I found a nice quotation on this topic:

Short version: use a single space after a sentence.
