i don't know if to call it an error,
but when i try to copy code from messages in the forum - it writes me this patch named - NBSP
which takes up all the spaces of the space key....
have anyone encountered that ?
i added a screen-shot

That's odd.
NBSP (so far as I know) is a HTML Non-breaking Space.
In which Forum post did you encounter that?
To add...
I've just checked a number of different posts and I'm seeing this same thing.
I've also checked my own posted code, which I know was fine right after I posted it, but now it has this same forming error, so something must have changed, server side, which has broken the code formatting.

Looking at the page source, there's a close script tag on line 30 to 38 or thereabouts (depending on the page being viewed), which I don't think should be there. I don't know if that will cause the issue that we're seeing, or even if that tag is indeed correct (it's been some time since I did any HTML coding).
Just what I'm seeing at my end.

@ snippsat
For some reason, in posted code blocks, the space (32) is now a NBSP (160). Why is this please?

It should not be there when copy code out.
@ astral_travel
I did try PyChram and can not get output that you show.
if have problem in in PyChram,set Copy selection as plain text.

Thank you for the reply.
As Astral discovered, it is the now case, with a C&P of a code block, which is when I tried the same. This was not the case (and therefore not an issue) a few days back, so something has changed within the last few days. It could be even as far back as a week, but I can't say for sure, as I can't remember the last time a did a code block C&P, but I do know that I'm not doing anything different my end, but the C&P is now picking up char 160, whereas it did not do that before.
If nothing has changed, server side, then this is a very confusing turn of events, which I'm at a loss as to the reason, except that I have had an update to Firefox, so maybe it's Firefox that has broken this?
Update: I've just fired up Chromium, and all is well with a code block C&P, so it seems that Firefox is to blame.

You know that you should double click in the python code box,then it select all of code,then copy.
I can get the it to copy the invincible NBSP when i use mouse to drag mouse over code in FireFox then copy code.
So try double click in code box,then copy and it should be ok.

Ah... I did not realize that: I've been doing the 'drag' method, which, again, has been fine up until very recently, but yes, I do get the correct C&P with a double click.
Thank you.
