I have noticed that my TinyMCE editor in WordPress MU 2.9.2 loses text after a double space when you save a blog post. This is a problem because some users habitually use two spaces after a period.
In these two examples, there are two spaces between “test” and “test”:
- “test test” (“test__test”) becomes “test” when the blog is saved
- “test test, the rest of my long blog post” (“test__test,_the_rest_of_my_long_blog_post”) becomes “test” when the blog is saved
Edit:
I updated to WP 3.2.1 and can confirm that this is still an issue.
Problem solved:
In 2.9.2 under “New Blog Defaults”, the field “Encoding for pages and feeds” was blank and should have been
UTF-8. When I updated this field on all blogs, the problem went away.In 3.2.1 you can edit this value on a blog by blog basis on the reading settings page:
/wp-admin/options-reading.php. I’m not sure what the default value for new blogs in 3.2.1 is, or if there is somewhere to change the default, but I’m guessing it isUTF-8
