Using Sigil 8.6 on a Mac running OSX 10.10.3. In all the versions of Sigil I've used (at least the last several), I have never had satisfactory handling of nonbreaking spaces. I have had a book rejected from the Google Play store for using nbsps and have been told to switch to #x00A0. Maybe no one cares about Google Play anymore (does it exist?) nonetheless, I have abide by my distributors wishes and not get files rejected.
In Sigil, the #x00A0s get converted into regular spaces. I never ever cross-my-heart-hope-to-die edit in Book View. And I've added #x00A0 to the preserve entities list, all to no avail. Basically, once I'm done editing in Sigil I have to have a separate step of opening in Calibre. And then I can never open the book in Sigil again from that point on. And I really do prefer Sigil.
