getCurrentTextEditor on MacOSX ignores space in input

MacOSX and iOS
1

My AU Plugin works in REAPER.
I’m using Label->getCurrentTextEditor() for editing label text and everything works normally on Windows, all alphanum characters and spaces are entered without any issues.
But, On MacOSX when entering ‘space’ this character ignored and instead ‘Play’ button triggering in the REAPER background of my plugin window.

Is it possible that mentioned behavior happens due to the limitation of Keyboard type UIKeyboardTypeDefault?

In REAPER’s plugin options menu (the “+” button above the editor window) there’s an option to “Send all keyboard input to plugin”. You can click this to send spacebar presses to the plugin instead of to the REAPER main window.

Wow, nice hint, Thanks a lot, it’s really strange to disable this option by default.
