Please make sure you open a support ticket about this and include as much detail as you can discern about what's going on. I'm not sure what could be happening from the description, but it sure sounds bizarre.

The problem reappeared again. This time, RW sets the characters or spaces in the font Amiri. And it seems to happen most frequently whenever I duplicate a topic. But RW does also tend to re-insert those spaces after I have deleted them by hand and saved the topic.

Shall I open an new support ticket?

Amendment: The characters seem to get set i.a. during linking.

Update: The bus still persists in RW Version .250. Everytime I save a topic RW sets an invisible character in the font Amiri at the very beginning of every edited snippet.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Although we've had reasons to use invisible characters, we think there's been cases where particular fonts interfered with those characters being hidden away and unnoticeable.

It might help if you went through your fonts to see if any particular one is interfering. Any that are installed as part of Windows should be safe, but if you installed any custom fonts, perhaps one of them is interacting with Realm Works in an interfering way?

And if you happen to locate such a meddlesome font... please let us know what it is.

Realllly hoping it's not a font called "Meddlesome."

Never noticed it before you mentioned particular fonts as possible cause, Rone, but my LotR Realm using Tahoma as standard font does behave properly, whereas my science fantasy realm using a font called Shadowrun as standard snippet style shows the bug.
