Maybe this small issue does not exist only in French.
In French typography, we must put unbreakable spaces before these punctuation marks: ;:!?» and after «
All "double" marks need a space. So we cannot remove   and replace it with a plain space as it was an unwanted named entity, if we want to avoid having a semicolon or a closing double quote at the beginning of a line.
An option to exclude some named entities from being filtered should be introduced into the editor.
Thanks.
François.
