[SOLVED] TinyMCE editor removes spaces after comma character
 

I am using theme Atahualpa 3.6.7 on http://barbandrodger.com. When I create a post (or page), the resulting code removes any space character that follows a comma. You can see this effect by going to http://barbandrodger.com. You'll see it on the home page.

I went back to Atahualpa 3.6.6. Same problem.

I went back to Atahualpa 3.6.4. Same problem.

When I create a new post, or edit an old one, and then do a preview, I see the same effect. Any word that has a following comma, together with a following space, is run up to the next word with no space in between.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

Oh... and I also need to share that the same effect exists in the Edit POST/PAGE INFO ITEMS, where I need to manually add a non-breaking space after any special character like a bullet or vertical line; otherwise, the next text will be presented without an intervening space -- even if a space character is present.

I am not experiencing that issue. Have you checked for plugin conflicts?

Yes, I have stripped it down to bare bones and the problem persists. When I switch to any other theme the editor renders properly. I will continue to troubleshoot and I will report if I find anything.

Thank you for your reply.

When I look at your site I see some places, sometimes in the same post, where the space shows and doesn't show. Is that where you put a non-breaking space to compensate?

Yes, I added a few non-breaking spaces here and there. But here is big news:

I created a new different site from scratch (RodgerAndBarb.com) using WP 3.1.2. Then I installed atahualpa367.zip using the upload method. Without making any other changes, I noticed that all instances where a comma occurred, there was no space following the comma. Even the default date stamp on posts showed May 14th,2011 rather than May 14, 2011. So....

I restored my test site back to the default theme and then deleted atahualpa 3.6.7. Then I installed atahualph by using the search method, which yielded 3.6.4. Suddenly, everything worked as expected.

Along the way I found that the comma problem exists in 3.6.6 as well.

After returning BarbAndRodger.com to atahualpa 3.6.4, I found that I needed to go into each page and post and manually insert a space after each comma and then repost. A pain, but fortunately I hadn't completed many pages there yet so it really wasn't so bad.

I will just stick with 3.6.4 for the time being. If a new atahualpa version appears, I'll give it a try it on a test site.

I have exactly the same problem. It's not a biggie but that editor in me isn't really happy about it. :/

Also, the styles for calendar are also gone. For instance, in the older version, I've set the date with posts to appear in different colour. In the latest version, the dates just appear the same as those dates without post.

I haven't upgraded the theme for a while so I thought I wanted to do it today (upgrading from 3.5.1) and after playing around with it for a while, I noticed the missing space after comma. I'm going to try downgrading and see if it's back to normal...

If you have ATO->Configure CSS & JS->CSS: Compress? set to 'YES' you will see this problem.
This is fixed with BUGFIX 367-01: Odd effects when 'CSS: Compress' = 'Yes'

this compression issue also existed in 3.6.4 but was addressed in BUGFIX 364-02: CSS Compression does not happen if 'Allow debugging?' is 'Yes'

Ah yes... we've all been bitten by "isset confusion" at one point or another. Thanks for pointing out the fix. Works great.
