Description
In French typography, it is standard to insert a non-breaking space before certain punctuation marks (; ! ?, and also before : and inside French quotation marks « »). Two distinct Unicode characters are used for this depending on the software/context: the no-break space (U+00A0) and the narrow no-break space (U+202F). Both should be treated as word boundaries by the spellchecker.
When such a space is typed directly in the web editor, the spellchecker appears to treat it as part of the preceding word rather than as a word boundary. As a result, correctly spelled words get flagged as misspelled, because the token being checked effectively becomes word<NBSP> instead of word.
This causes the spellchecker to flag normal, correctly-written French sentences whenever proper French typography (non-breaking spaces before punctuation) is used.
Expected behavior
Any non-breaking space variant should be treated as whitespace/word boundary by the spellchecker, just like a regular space.
Actual behavior
The non-breaking space is included as part of the preceding word's token, causing correctly spelled words to be flagged as errors.
