 * I just migrated to a new server, same configs for apache and MySQL etc.
 * But now some of my posts overflow? Even a new one I made..

 * Same thing occurs when using the default theme (which is on now).
 * I’ll try updating to 2.2 this evening..

 * Look at your source. you have forced spaces in between most of your words.
 *     ```
       <p>The&nbsp;new&nbsp;server&nbsp;is&nbsp;an&nbsp;AMD&nbsp;Athlon&nbsp;XP&nbsp;2000+&nbsp;downclocked&nbsp;to&nbsp;650Mhz,&nbsp;with&nbsp;512MB&nbsp;DDR&nbsp;Dual&nbsp;channel&nbsp;on&nbsp;100Mhz, the&nbsp; low clockrates are&nbsp;because&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;energy&nbsp;usage&nbsp;;).
       ...
       it’s&nbsp;about&nbsp;time,&nbsp;because&nbsp;most&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;configs&nbsp;where&nbsp;a&nbsp;bit&nbsp;messy.&nbsp;Not&nbsp;all&nbsp;things&nbsp;working&nbsp;yet, I expect them to do by the end of the week.</p>
       ```
   
 * Im guessing that because of those you dont have normal line breaks.

 * by the way, I’m working on my firewall right now, so you might experience some
   outage on the site.
 * I appreciate you looking though, and I’m checking this page at least once a minute
   🙂
 * –reply to above–
    I have forced nothing, I made a new post using just Write, 
   and typing some text.. Nothing I wouldn’t do normally anyway..
 * I don’t see any   myself though, which browser do you use?

 * forced spaces are the `&nbsp;` non breaking space. In your browser, they look
   just like a normal space except they don’t do a line break.
    If you use ‘just
   Write’ you are copying a lot of extra code into yur post. Just write your post
   in the WordPress editor or in a plain text editor like notepad.

 * By just write, I meant the wordpress editor :). The ‘Write’ link in the admin
   page.
 * Anyways, I upgraded to WordPress 2.2.1 and indeed there are some strange characters
   as spaces on the lines that overflow.
 * I’ll try to check it out in the database, I’ll post when it’s solved 🙂

 * [SOLVED]
 * Okay, indeed removing the weird characters solves the problem. I suspect that
   the new server is to blame, since I now run a complete en_US.UTF-8 server, and
   that is what probably distorted the database.

 * I’m having the same problem of overflowing lines but this happened since I upgraded
   to 2.2.1. I posted on my blog 2 days ago when I was still using 2.1.3 and everything
   was fine. My first post with 2.2.1 gave me overflowing lines.
 * Not sure what to look for in order to fix this…can someone give me a hint? My
   blog is in french and I use accented letters like éèà, etc…

 * icecoyote,
 * you have the same thing going on, use the “view source” in your favorite browser:
 * `Brière&nbsp;était&nbsp;co-capitaine&nbsp;à&nbsp;Buffalo,&nbsp;ca&nbsp;veut&nbsp;

 * Well this is a WordPress problem then or DB related? I never got this problem
   before and I write my posts in WordPress using the Visual editor. What should
   I do?
 * And by the way, when checking the source in Opera, it doesn’t give me the extra
   nbsp coding:
 * <p>Brière était co-capitaine à Buffalo, ca veut donc dire qu’il a une bonne dose
   de leadership entre les deux oreilles. On a besoin de ça à Montréal du leadership,
   ca fait plusieurs années que les gens se plaignent qu’il manque de leaders dans
   ce club et Steve Bégin ne peut pas toujours tout faire lui même!

 * Can’t believe that this is database related.
    Does it happen with every new post
   you write in the Visual editor?

 * Well I wouldn’t be able to say it happens with every post, but since upgrading
   to 2.2.1 it happened with the only post I tried to write using the visual editor.
 * I copied/pasted the post in notepad, then recopied/repasted it from notepad to
   the visual editor and everything was ok after that.
 * But I wouldn’t want to have to write my posts in notepad everytime…defeats the
   point of having the blog do it for you in the first place.
 * Any other ideas on why this is happening?

 * Have you checked if it happens with other browsers?
    <textarea> is not implemented
   exactly the same way in every browser. BTW, I would dump the Visual Editor if
   I were you 😉

 * I’ll see if it happens with Explorer when I write my next post.
 * Why would I want to dump the Visual Editor? It’s there for a reason right?

 * Right,it’s there for a reason. It hides all xhtml code and that can be very easy.
   However the Visual editor adds and changes xhtml code under the hood. With the
   code editor you can see the code. You wouldn’t have had the problem with $nbsp;
