Recipe Command Glitches

I was typing up a command in the chat box, when for some reason, the auto fill text was shifted to the left a bit. And it only happened in a specific point in the command that I was using, which was the /recipe command, namely the part where you type what crafting recipe that you want to give to/take from the desired target. Everything else worked fine, but not that part. Can someone explain to me what is going on?
