Description Mc128k 2013-09-30 13:04:19 UTC 
Hi
Just like the title, if I edit the body of the text, at every newline it enters an ♙ character, and I have to manually delete every time (by writig, going back and deleting).

Also there are many other special characters displayed, like arrows for tab and return. Don't know if it's the same issue.

The wiki is hosted on a CentOS 6.4 box, running latest versions of apache and PHP, under a virtualhost. The client is an OSX 10.9 computer.

Please tell me if you need any additional information.

Thank you.

Hi there,

This is a break we introduced on Friday, sorry - a fix is now in Gerrit change #86685 and will be merged in the next few minutes. Up-merging this with bug 54791 reported by our QA team. Thanks for the bug report!

That's not - this is intentional as a means to differentiate different kinds of whitespace (which show up differently to the user in wikitext, but would otherwise look the same in HTML).
