double spacing after a period

    When I add text to a post, if theres is a double space after a period, all text after the double space doesn’t appear. For example, If i were to type this in:

    “I went to the zoo. I saw the monkeys.”

    All that would appear is, “I went to the zoo.”

    If I don’t use double spacing but use single spacing after the period, it saves and displays correctly. Is there any way to fix this?

    Err.. That’s possibly the weirdest complaint I’ve even seen.

    I tried to duplicate it on my test system, but I could not. WordPress accepts double spaces just fine as far as I can tell.

    Do you have any example of a live blog with this problem?

    Yes. My blog is here: http://www.jaketoolson.com

    Go ahead and login and try it yourself using: test1234 as both id & password.

    Okay, that’s straight up freakin’ weird, man. You’re right, it does kill stuff after the double space. I have no idea why.

    If you go to the code tab and add double spacing there, it doesn’t do it. So it’s clearly a problem with the visual editor/TinyMCE somehow. I’d recommend turning off the visual editor entirely. Go to Users->Your Profile and disable it.

    Haha. Ya it is weird huh? I honestly don’t know what could have caused it. I just downloaded the latest WP and installed it. As you can see, the only changing I have done is create my own themes etc.

    I hate to not using the visual Editor but as a temporary fix it will have to do. I’d still be curious to see if anyone can figure this one out 🙂

    I was searching for a solution to this, and figured it out on my own (with a few hints at the solution from other threads). In my case, I had my encoding switched over to ISO-whatever-bunch-of-numbers instead of utf8, mainly for compatibility with vbulletin and vbbridge. However, in my config.php, I didn’t comment out the utf8, which caused all of my entries to get truncated because of the double white space.

    Hope this helps someone…
