Unwanted $nbsp;
I hope this hasn't been addressed before (a quick search didn't turn up anything).
One of the most common formatting errors in etexts is inappropriate line breaks. When correcting these in Sigil in Book View, I generally add a space at the end of the line, then hit delete. However, Sigil inserts an $nbsp; instead of a normal space, which is not, of course, what I want. I'm new to Sigil, so I'm sure there's an easy fix, I just don't know what it is. --Nathanael EDIT: Forgot to say. I'm using Sigil 0.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.10b x64.

Have you tried first deleting the newline and then adding the space? It could be (wild guess) that when you add a space at the end of a line Sigil uses a non-breaking space to avoid having it discarded.

You might have to use Sigil to create the original, and then manually adjust the code to suit; perhaps?

I noted this behavior before and it can screw up formatting and nearly all editors do it.

I think the author of Sigil mentioned that this is due to the Qt software package he used to handle the internal structure. It is a bug in Qt, so he is powerless to fix it.
