bug in span tag?

When I bold in RH (HTML, x5.0.2), published pages display text joined without spaces between words. When I preview in RH, there is no problem: tthe spaces disappear when I publish. For example,

<span style="font-style: italic;">My class is </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">beginning</span><span
style="font-style: italic;"> at 2:00. </span>

- appears as "My class is beginningat 2:00."

This has caused me no end of grief for years. Any advice appreciated.

    I wonder.

    Create a new webhelp layout in the project where you are getting the problem. Do not copy an existing one. Just use the defaults to test.

    Still get the problem?

    I'm wondering if this is X5 specific. I'll test on that later today but I don't think the result will be different.

    Thanks. I'm using IE6, and i's a problem on all computers I view it from.

    I just pasted your code into a topic and it appears fine in both IE6 and Firefox, the spacing is correct.

    I don't think anyone else has reported this.

    Have you tried viewing from different PCs using different browsers? What browser are you using?
