I have a question (it's not often that I do) about
Kunena. In looking at message
#50901
posted on a different subject, I was going to suggest that it should be possible to insert non-breaking spaces (namely "&" followed by "nbsp;") when editing a post.
Although the non-breaking space character renders as a "space" in the preview, it is not honoured when the message is displayed in its published form. I cannot compose the text string   so that it displays as "&" followed by "nbsp;". Notice, & is not translated. And yet, when I use the message preview, it is translated (as you would expect. We know that multiple "normal" spaces are compressed to a single space by the browser (and this is central to the issue discussed in message
#50901
), so how do you get non-breaking spaces to work?
Here is another illustration of the matter. Suppose I want to show how to insert non-breaking spaces between two emoticon images using this BBcode:
Code:
:( :)
The message
preview works - it shows the whitespace correctly - but this is the resultant display below:

This leads to the conclusuons that this is a
Kunena defect and that it's existed in the software for some time; I'd forgotten about it. I'm reporting this as a defect and, if it's confirmed as such, I'll write this as a "known issue" with the current version.
