Bug with language mix - space disappears

Hello all!

I try to paste some text from MS Word 2007 to CKEditor (using "paste from Word").
Problem - when part of text in same paragraph is marked as English and rest text is marked as other language (for example, Russian), then space between different languages disappears. Two words become joined.

Is that a bug? I suppose yes. If so, is it possible for developers to fix this?..

Also, when text is bold, place of language separation looks like
"<strong>Some text</strong><strong>other language text</strong>"
Closing and immediately opening tag - not good...

Tried in Demo editor on this site.

The problem persists.

Have anybody noticed it?
Another way to reproduce - in Word 2007 create text, then select a space between word and mark this space as another language. Then if we copy this text to CKEditor, space disappears.

Re: Bug with language mix - space disappears

I'm not a developer, but an end user of an application that uses the CKEditor and I wanted to confirm that we too are experiencing "dropped spaces" between words when we copy and paste from MS-Word. From investigation the cause seems similar to what you've described. I've found that the missing spaces all seem to come after a MS-Word html entry that ends with “lang-EN-CA>” any space that exists right after that tag seems to get dropped by the CKEditor. I also confirmed that this happens on the CKEditor demo site as well.

If anyone has a fix for this, I'd love to pass it along to our software vendor.

Re: Bug with language mix - space disappears

There's manual workaround until CKEditor code is fixed.

Before copying text, select all, choose language English, copy-paste into CKEditor. Spaces should stay.

We can use it, but how we can be sure that code will be fixed?
Are developers reading this forum or there's some "official" procedure of bug reporting?..

I dunno -- that's for developers to fix.

Re: Bug with language mix - space disappears

Hi There,

Was there ever a ticket raised for this issue. I can't actually find the bug report or ticket relating to the missing spaces.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also couldn't find ticket. And ticket submission requires yet another registration.

Why don't devs take input from this thread and create a ticket?

I agree, the issue seems pretty well described above. You'd think the QA group would take an interest.

Re: Bug with language mix - space disappears

It's more important that you (the people that is able to easily reproduce the issue) take care of reporting such problems because QA might not try to use the tools just in the same way that you are, so it might not hit the exact same conditions and maybe fix only some situation but not other ones.

A bug related to spaces from Word has been fixed in 3.5.3 http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6751 but as you are asking again about it I guess that it hasn't fix the problem for you (because you have verified the latest version before bumping again the thread, right?)

So it would be better if some of you take care to report correctly the bug and that way it might be fixed in your situation.

Re: Bug with language mix - space disappears

I guess it was really #6751 : Inline whitespaces are incorrectly stripped when pasting from Word.

Now I can't find this bug in http://ckeditor.com/demo.
Thanks to developers!
