Summary0002749: Improper placement of non breaking spaces
Descriptionsometimes Composr puts the non-breaking space (nbsp) in very obscure places. For example, it may make a whole paragraph with nothing but a non-breaking space. Or it may throw them at the end of content before an HTML close tag.

What is most frustrating though is sometimes Composr will replace a space between a URL and continuing text with the non-breaking space. For example, if I have:

"Please go to http://example.com for more information"

It will convert to:

"Please go to http://example.com for more information"

and what happens is the link then converts in error to "http://example.com for" (or "http://example.com%20for" if you format it).

For anything involving editing please make sure you say whether it was with WYSIWYG or not, as the processing can vary considerably between. I suspect this is a CKEditor issue.

I've fixed the link detection issue.

Otherwise, it's browser/CKEditor/paste behaviour, see:
