HTML Entity erroneously placed in game page's description.

Open Strawberry-Fox opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug When writing in the description box of a game page, sometimes a HTML Entity (That I can't write because it'll disappear) is erroneously placed in the HTML instead of a regular space. The specific one is the non-breaking space entity, and this absolutely wrecks line breaks. Sometimes it is placed a few times, other times it is slapped between every single word.

I could remove each and every single one manually, but this shouldn't be happening at all.

I have tested both Firefox and Chrome, and it only seems to occur in Firefox. I have tried disabling every single browser plugin I have, however the problem persisted. Restarting my computer didn't fix the issue either.

I only noticed this issue today, however I was editing a game page sometime near the end of last month and it was working fine then.

To Reproduce Open a new (or pre-existing) game page's Dashboard in Firefox, and attempt to write a few sentences in the Description box. You should see a sneaky HTML Entity (That I can't write because it'll disappear) pop up in the HTML eventually.

Expected behavior The expected behavior is for this HTML Entity to not appear automatically.

Screenshots

I'll note, I manually removed all cases of it in the above section, but you can see how prevalent it can be. Image
