I try to be a little clearer because I believe this is a just a plain Sigil 0.7.2 bug

Bug report regarding Sigil 0.7.2

How to reproduce it.

Take: an odt file (attached nbsp.odt) containing 12 nbsp has just been converted to EPUB (attached nbsp.epub) but not saved, you find it here as it just appeared on the desktop.

Now, open this EPUB and :

- save it with Sigil 0.7.2, all the &nbsp disappear from the EPUB and cannot be found again.
This is the BUG.

- save it with Sigil 0.5.3 (or other deprecated versions); all the &nbsp are maintained and appear for further use, with any Sigil version. This is the normal behaviour and it has been so for years.

NB: 12 &nbsp is not a big deal. True, But a French book, can contain thousands of them and then it can be a serious problem.
