About 5 spaces added out of no where!

Queatrix · 10-15-2005, 04:00 PM

Hev any of you know noticed how about 3 or 5 spaces seem to appear out of no where in somones code?
Mods, any chance of fixing this?

Its caused by words being too long. Example the following was typed without spaces:

Code:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And I believe its intentional. And if its happening to your code its probably unreadable anyways

I always thought it was intended to be a text-wrapping thing, so things like what thantos wrote wouldn't span as long as they do... like something that would add a space and therefore give the board a place to wrap the text...

thats the intention, of course code tags don't wrap
