NO-BREAK SPACE after quick auto-complete double brace PhpStorm

In Laravel's Blade Template, the use of double braces {{ }} is used quite a lot.

I have a small issue though. PhpStorm will auto complete {{ to the full {{}}

However, as most Laravel developers adds spaces like {{ route('home') }}, I quickly type {{ then add a space.

Normall this would add unicode spaces like %20 on each side of the cursor after auto completion {{ CURSOR }}

However, if I do it too quick, it adds the %A0 (NO-BREAK-SPACE) character instead and does not add the trailing space, causing the statements inside to fail. {{ CURSOR}}

Is there a way, to either fix this permanently - or to default the auto completion of double braces to add the spaces before and after the cursor by default, like it does when typing {! (this might be a plugin)

Edit:

I figured out that my keyboard (Norwegian) has a slight issue with phpstorm perhaps. I use Alt Gr+7 to write a open brace. If I do it too quick, Alt Gr + Space produces a no-break space. I'm trying to figure out now how to either disable that keybind or some other way of ignoring it.

Edit2 It was Ubuntu, see my answer

It appears this was not an issue in PhpStorm at all. It was an issue with my Norwegian keyboards, Alt Gr + Space and Ubuntu

In ubuntu Alt Gr + Space produces the non-break space character

I disabled this keybind by typing this into my terminal:

setxkbmap -option "nbsp:none"
