This is a very minor change that happened with the latest update. It might be a by-product of another change or an intended change, I just wanted to point it out in case.

For various reasons, in my fanfiction 'books' it is often easier to do a find/replace in 'Normal' mode, which touches on Unbreakable spaces (fanfic author uses section breaks that a line with lots of " * " or "?" or even "." - and I like section breaks in all my fanfics to be uniform); or the formatting from the author includes an unbreakable space and a regular space side by side.

I would generally just copy, then do a find replace in normal mode (especially if they used some "." in there!). Easier and quicker than escaping everything each time.

Thanks! Oh, and sorry I'm so wordy...I can't really help it. Just imagine - I cut it down A LOT!
