I've noticed this little glitch, and I have a feeling it has something to do with my PC (Win7), browser (IE9), or browsers settings (default).
Sometimes when I post on GS, wether it's the forums, my blog, comments, etc., a few spaces get removed.

"For example, I would post this."

Then it might look like this:

"For example,Iwould post this."

It usually only happens for larger posts like blogs. I assure you they aren't spelling mistakes.
Sometimes, when I go to edit one part of a blog, another sentance gets bunched up like that somewhere else on the blog when I post it.

Does anyone elsehave this problem? ~EDIT: see what I mean?~
What's causing it, and how can I fix it?

Thanks :)

It's being caused by a bug in the wysiwyg editor. As far as I know the bug has always existed. One of the theories is that it might have to do with direct selection or cursor positioning with the mouse. It may also affect some browsers but not others, so that it's really an incompatibility with affected browsers. I always recommend disabling the wysiwyg editor to everyone. That will resolve this issue, among many others.

I've had this problem in the past, usually involving links. The way I solved it was edit the post, then click the HTML button and fix the problem that way. It'll save. :D
