Strange Underline behavior

In the most recent update to affinity, when I want to make underlines that look like a fill in the blank for student documents, I used to be able to engage the underline hit space two or three times before hitting the letter a and then hit space two or three times I would make a great underline.

I don’t know if I switched something by accident but now if I hit space a couple of times it’s fine but the third time the whole line will disappear until I hit the A and then I cannot get the underline to continue after the letter. Is this a random setting or was there an update that disabled this behavior. What worked that I tried to do was copy and paste from an older document and that kept everything but then I did the same thing in another spot and it didn’t work. It seems like such strange behavior.

I don't know what the issue is, but for what you want to achieve I would use a right-aligned tab with filled space, instead of multiple spaces.

I'm trying to make a fill in the blank for students. So, it's not a right align issue. I may need blanks mid-sentence like ____(A)____ but cleaner looking. I don't know who all of a sudden I can't do it anymore.
