This is by design. Like many editors, Bear does highlight things that looks like links, for example google.com. Just like .com is a top-level domain, so is .space, and xxx.space is a valid domain.

If you want it to be unlinked, you can escape the period like this xxx\.space. The backspace will be hidden along with other markers.

We could make the auto linking more restrictive if many find this to be a problem, but it is hard to find the right balance as it is also a problem having an existing domain not being linked.
