Is 0.8.4 buggy?

This is the first ebook I've made with 0.8.4. (I've made several others with earlier versions.) On this book the first file I did got corrupted/broken splitting chapters. So I started over on a different computer with a fresh html. Same thing happened at the same spot. Chapter Ten (out of twenty-some).

Then I was able to split the chapters using theduck's suggestion:

Quote:
I insert a sigil_split Marker at the places I want (ctrl-shift-enter (I made a clip)
(Using REGEX when possible)

then press F6 at the end
But when I did that it expanded the number of non-breaking spaces in my chapter breaks, which started as:

<p class="asterisks">*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*</p>

and ended up as:

<p class="asterisks">*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*</p>

And one was even slightly different than that.

I've made five or six ebooks with Sigil and never run into anything funky like this. Before I took theducks' suggestion I religiously followed the User's Manual. It's not like I did anything weird.

So it looks like I'm limping through this book with 0.8.4 but should I be switching to a later version for future ones? (And if so, what's the most reliable version?) And did anybody else encounter this funky stuff with 0.8.4?
