Forum:Glitch replaces whitespaces when editing

Hi. On the Bleach wiki for some time now, we have been experiencing a strange glitch. This glitch replaces normal whitespaces with this string of characters "& n b s p ;" (minus the spaces). I had to add the spaces to it, because it was showing up as a whitespace when I previewed what I just wrote. It typically seems to appear when someone edits a page using the Rich Text editor. Does anyone else have this problem? --Yyp 23:05, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

FYI:  is special HTML code for a "non breaking space" It can be extremely useful to use (especially in tables of numbers) for any situation where white space is wanted with no possibility of a line break at that white space.

Having said that, I am not familiar with the RTE or the glitch described above. --najevi 23:25, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's a very common bug with the RTE. -- Porter21 (talk) 11:51, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's a known issue. The issue is: when users type shift+space, this is what appears, or when users type multiple spaces. We can't remove  that already exist, because they are used for some valid design issues. However, I'm still hoping we find a way to resolve it - the shift+space issue is really the heart of the problem.  15:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
