Spacing before/after an inline element creates a non-breaking space

[claviska]

When spacing before/after an inline element, a   is erroneously produced instead of a normal space.

Minimal test case: http://fiddle.tinymce.com/F2faab/2

Only seems to affect Webkit-based browsers. Tested on the latest Chrome and Safari with the same results. Firefox is unaffected.

Tested on the latest Chrome update (52.0.2743.116) and the bug still exists. Has it been verified? I've noticed this behavior in apps other than my own too.

If this is a TinyMCE issue, any pointers as to where one would look? I'm thinking it might actually be a Chrome bug.

👍 I have the same issue on Chrome (54.0.2840.71), Firefox (49.0.2), Opera (41.0) and IE Edge (25.10586.0.0). So rather ubiquitous.
Non-breaking spaces   are a serious issue in our application - we´re using those for finetuning line breaks in for pdf output with wkhtml2pdf (which doesnt supprt ­).

I am on Windows 10 and use tinymce 4.4.3 in inline mode

@Shoplifter are you sure you're not seeing the   characters that were left over after saving in Chrome? I can't seem to replicate this in Firefox, but the issue still occurs in Chrome.

And, of course, it also affects WordPress. 🤷‍♂️

Hi,

I'm unable to reproduce this issue in TinyMCE 4.9.10 and 5.2.2 using the details provided. Testing older versions, it appears this issue was fixed in TinyMCE 4.9.0. As such I'm going to close this, however if you're still experiencing issues then let us know and we'll reopen this issue.

Thanks!

I can confirm that this appears to be resolved. Thanks!
