Description Graf.Zahl 2007-07-29 17:47:58 UTC
To demonstrate the bug:

1. Open a page in the page namespace for which a page image exists (for example the URL given).

2. Enter something like  

3. Press "Show preview" repeatedly.

4. The string   will slowly be destroyed until only an ordinary space (not a non-breaking space) remains.

In real life, what typically happens is that a non-breaking space is converted to an ordinary space. This is very annoying. It does not happen on pages outside the page namespace.
Comment 1 ThomasV 2007-07-29 18:17:18 UTC
it might be due to the regexp matching in proofread.js
