TextArea editor that doesn't mess text with nbsp's?
I created a string extension method to workaround the issue. It's used on views like @Html.Raw(Model.Html.FixNbsp())
namespace Solita.Web.Utils.Common.Extensions
{
public static class StringExtensions
{
public static string FixNbsp(this string str)
{
// http://world.episerver.com/Modules/Forum/Pages/Thread.aspx?id=114640
// TextArea string editor converts whitespaces to nbsp's after some update.
// It happens if there are more than one whitespace in a row, the latter one's are replaced with nbsp's (charcode 160).
const char nbspChar = '\u00A0';
return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(str) ? str.Replace(nbspChar, ' ') : string.Empty;
}
}
}
Not nice, but works for now.

Hi
TextArea string editor has started converting whitespaces to nbsp's after some update. It happens if there are more than one whitespace in a row, the latter one's are replaced with nbsp's (charcode 160). Perhaps a nice feature if you'r using the strings only on your views, but not so nice when you'r using them for embedded html or system configuration.
I think it's a terrible change and should be reverted to save the text as it was written. But meanwhile I'd be happy to know if there are nice and clean workarounds.
