Syntax or quirk?

Bonjour à tous - Why is there always a space between the last word of the sentence and the punctuation mark? Is that a French syntax thing or a quirk of this website? Thank you !

It was great. The only things I could not get « elle loue », Elle passe aussi «

Somehow it was hard to understand the verbes after »elle » but of course it’s my fault, I need to study

The translation of "Quoi que vous pensiez, gardez-le pour vous"

The translation of "Quoi que vous pensiez, gardez-le pour vous" should be "Whatever you're thinking, keep it TO yourself", correct? In other words, don't say what you're thinking?

A wish or desire...

Does this lesson apply in this example:

I want to say, I would really like to see you when I come to Paris."" Which is correct?

J'aimerais bien te rencontrer quand je serai venue à Paris! ou J'amerais bien te rencontrer quand je viens à Paris.

If the latter is incorrect, should I just think of this as saying... "when I will have come to Paris."

"Lentement, je m'y noierai, sans qu'un remord ne me vienne"

In the song "Tu vas me détruire", we have the sentence "Lentement, je m'y noierai, sans qu'un remord ne me vienne". It seems to me this violates the rule that ne explétif is not used when the main tense is not used with negation.
