I don't think it's a good idea to turn off these settings by default as they work pretty well. The bug that was reported complains that after inputing a "." a space is added, which is true. We should fix this bug rather than turn off the defaults. The fix would be to not automatically add a space (and capitialize the next letter) when typing the "." but only do so after in the following cases:
1) typing "." then pressing the space bar would add a space and turn on the shift key
2) double tapping the space bar with the auto punctation setting turned on would add the ".", a space, and turn on the shift key
