This may be related to #2819031.

Maxlength seems to count a string of many initial spaces as one character, but after a non-space character it counts a string of spaces as multiple characters. Is this the expected behaviour?

Additionally, the count indicator does not update when the key press is for a space character. It only updates when a non-space character is typed.

It is perhaps best explained with a video/gif: https://gfycat.com/ElatedDecentGalapagossealion
