What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.14 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

vi test.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	src := ""
	slice := strings.Split(src, ",")
	fmt.Printf("src=%q slice=%+v len(slice)=%d\n", src, slice, len(slice))
}

% go run test.go
src="" slice=[] len(slice)=1

Thank you for raising this issue. Based on the documentation for strings.Split I believe this is working as intended

If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.

Based on this I am closing this issue. Please comment if you disagree but keep in mind that the operation of this function is covered by the Go 1 contract.
