I think we are talking about this tip: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Refresh_Firefox_%28preserving_scroll%29_on_Vim_save,_using_MozRepl There is only one character in the wikitext of that tip that is not printable ASCII, and that is an en dash (not in the "Code from .vimrc" section). I don't think the problem is anything to do with the wiki. On the wiki, I use ' ' on the rare occasions when trailing spaces are required because I like to remove junk whitespace, and the ' ' shows that the trailing space is intentional. An example of that is in the text "iab abtest " at: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Multi-line_abbreviations When I copy that trailing space I get hex 20 (a space, not a nonbreaking space). We also sometimes use ' ' in commands that we don't want to wrap. For example, see text "can be abbreviated as :set so=5": http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Keep_your_cursor_centered_vertically_on_the_screen The wikitext for the command is ":set so=5" but on systems I have tried, the space copies as hex 20.
