           Summary: &nbsp; in <option> tag renders as box character instead
                    of space
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 4.0
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: khtml
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: tr@erdfunkstelle.de


Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.1.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19

I have found some very similar bug reports at bugs.kde.org, some are stated as \
closed/fixed. but if i'm not totally mistaken this bug still exists. I hope i can \
give you useful information how to reproduce it.

The easiest way to see this bug is, go on bugs.kde.org and try to file a new bug \
report (damn, really!) Use "Luxi Sans" as font in konqueror to view the pages, maybe \
you have to have font aliasing enabled. You will notice that all select (dropdown?) \
boxes show up square/box characters instead of spaces (everwhere where &npsp; has \
been used).

Changing the font in konqueror fixes the problem, so what i guess is this: &nbsp; \
renders to a character that is not existing in some fonts. but the heck, shouldn't \
&nbsp; simply become a space character? it seems konqueror makes a difference between \
space and &nbsp;.

A sample code:
<select>
<option>hello&nbsp;world</option>
</select>

I attach a screenshot of how this sample code renders when using Luxi Sans as font \
(BTW, i have font aliasing enabled)

I hope my supplied information is sufficient, otherwise please contact me!

Bye and happy coding :)
