Blanks inserted into certain hyperlinks

This keeps being a problem, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2048580#2048580 for instance (note the blank characters in http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax␢.exe and http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.ex␢e).

I keep giving download or other links to people, and ever so often I get the reply that my links do "not work". Of course they do not work if blanks are inserted randomly.

Is this treated as a known bug?

I have seen that symptom many times! As you said, the link works anyway - and it appears fine even in the email notifications, but it is disfunctional for copy/paste from the Web forum.

The following is not exactly the same, and I don't know enough about the Jive app to determine if it needs its own thread or if the Jive code that does this is in the same module, so I thought I should add it here.

I've seen spaces arbitrarily inserted into code blocks as well via >>Insert->Syntax Highlighting->Plain

For example, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2004585#2004585 .

P1_Prod_Version=Shoc kwaveFlash

should be:

P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

While I did not post that particular block, I have seen it happen in code blocks that I did post.

It is even worse in code blocks when people paste code with tabs AND spaces in the indentations. Jive seems to modify such spaces with several bogus variations of an HTML non-breaking space. Literally inserting spaces and showing them in the code as & npsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; and others. Just as a for instance, the following line from a code block in a different message (I have no idea what it will do with this paste, but will come back to confirm/deny its accuracy).

             & nbsp;      var correct = temp3=temp2.options[temp2.selectedIndex].text;     &nb sp;            &nbsp ; { & nbsp;      var correct = temp3=temp2.options[temp2.selectedIndex].text;     &nb sp;            &nbsp ; {

Jive should not munge code in forums about code in any apparent way. It makes it hard to impossible to deal with, whether one is posting a question or a solution. The email interface is even worse in this regard (mentioned in other threads), but I would like to think that the Web interface should be easy enough to fix.

[Edit]

Yes, that code block is an accurate representation of what I saw in another thread.
