  Hello all.

  re: &nbsp

  I’m mystified why those characters show up each time I ‘press’ something. I delete them with no ill effects. So why do they show up?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. There appears to be a problem with the visual editor. One of the effects is that trailing spaces appear out of nowhere. Details here:

  nbsp ties the two words it appears between together such that they will not break between them at the end of a line. Those two words will always be kept together. As airodyssey says, there is an issue with the editor right now that is causing this. The error is with the editor itself, so wordpress is having to work with the people who write the editor.
