Description Jacob Dall 2006-06-06 09:59:42 UTC 
When typing the following string in the edit box of a MediaWiki page:

<nowiki>Some text     # a comment</nowiki>

it's being rendered as:

Some text # a comment

That is, all spaces except one before the '#' are removed. 

If this is by design, please change it. Otherwise, please fix it. I would very much dislike having to work around 
this by using a bunch of &nbsp;'s

Thanks,
Jacob Dall

Even your bug reporting system removes the spaces! That makes it hard to report this type of bug.

The text (with spaces replaced by _) entered in the edit box shound have read:

<nowiki>Some_text_____#_a_comment</nowiki>
Comment 2 Anders Wegge Jakobsen 2006-06-06 10:17:38 UTC 
Read the source of this page. What you are seeing is the browser collapsing
multiple whitespace charcters into one. If preservation of spaces is important,
use <pre>.

Read the source - it sure looks like I would expect.

I wasn't aware of that tag. Thanks for telling me.
