Non-breaking spaces on Text, Paragraph or Header elements

To quickly fix it just re-do all your spaces once. Oh boy… Webflow is getting big :smile:

Chrome issue?

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=310149

Was facing this issue.

Created a new site, the issue came up for Headings and Text Blocks, not for Paragraphs elements.

@cyberdave’s quick fix does the trick for now.

Hello, this is still happening for me and the above fixes don’t work. Old text in paragraphs is fine but if I add new text then it breaks the wrapping and overflows only for the new text line/sentence.

I’m having the same issue, when I add placement text it scales accordingly like other elements, but as soon as I edit it the text overflows past the container.

I was having this same issue…

but found a temporary workaround that seems to work.

Copy the offending text and paste it into a new browser window. (Is there a funny icon anywhere in your text your weren’t expecting? There was one at the beginning of mine.)

Immediately copy it back out and paste it back into the text box. Then re-apply any bold, italics, or link styles you will have lost.

Thanks. This worked for me :grinning:

Thanks copy & paste is working for me now.

I’m suffering the same problem (Chrome on Windows) but this fix works. Thanks for coming up with this imaginative fix. I was about to lose my mind trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with my paragraph/text and heading boxes. I hope they fix this problem soon, it’s a royal pain!

I have a strange problem with non-breaking spaces: Whenever I write a text in a new paragraph, Webflow adds non-breaking spaces between all words. Thus, the lines do not break anymore.

I have tried different things:

  • Switched to a different browser (Chrome / Safari)
  • Switched from OS X to Windows (in Parallels)
  • Opened a blank new site

I do not copy, but just write text in the field. I also do not hold the shift key. The problem appeared suddenly today, never experienced it before. Any ideas?

Further research shows that it could be related to this (however, this does not explain why the issue appeared suddenly): 310149 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail. Unfortunately, Webflow does not support Firefox, but at least in Read Mode, adding a paragraph in Firefox does not lead to those non-breaking spaces.

Can you please share your project’s public link so it’s easier to understand your issue?

Thank you! Here you go: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/test-breaking-space?preview=4d71aaaef2d3e10ef313b31b4d7aab2f

Hi @markus29, thanks for the link. There is a known issue with this and a fix will be coming soon.

This is the same issue as reported on this post: Non-breaking spaces on Text, Paragraph or Header elements - #14 by jonreese - Bugs - Forum | Webflow

The workaround in the meantime is to copy the text you have entered, or that exists currently, and then re-paste that back into the element as plain text.

I am sorry for the trouble:-/

Hi @markus29 and @vincent, the fix for the non-breaking spaces has been made, could you check to see if you are experiencing any further issue? Let me know and I will be standing by to help.

For some unknown reason, Header Blocks dropped into containers or div blocks are no longer automatically wrapping. I have tried everything from rebooting my computer to using someone else’s computer. This behavior is holding true for even default blocks (no special CSS added).

Here’s a link to see an example of the behavior:

This has been driving me bananas for several hours. I’m hoping someone can tell me what the @#$% is going on.

I’m also experiencing this issue, seems to recognize only while you’re typing but not when previewing or clicking away from text. Happening on both headings and paragraphs to me.

Thanks,
Alex

I am also having this issue. I think it just started happening today.

Hey @Jason_Powers

I would suggest you change the topic category to bug so the Webflow team can help you :smile:
