Description

When entering in multiple spaces inside an in-line edit field, the spaces are reduced to a single space outside of edit mode.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open the in-line edit demo from the daily build site
http://build.fluidproject.org/fluid/sample-code/inline-edit/announcements/announcements.html

2) Open one of the in-line edit fields into edit mode and enter in some text with multiple spaces (or cut and paste this "there should be ( ) 10 spaces inside the brackets")

3) Press 'enter' to leave edit mode. Notice that the multiple spaces have been reduced to a single space

If you re-enter edit mode, notice that the multiple spaces are still there

See comments on FLUID-886. Whitespace normalisation is a standard aspect of HTML and the XML family in general.

I would like to revisit this (along with 886). The right thing to do for users is represent their text exactly as they typed it in. Apparently folks have used some pretty extensive algorithms to get this behavior -- particularly in wikis. Eli knows about some of these algorithms and basically it is about representing space as non breaking and breaking spaces.

The reasoning behind this design decision is that otherwise the text jumps around when the user "opens" and "closes" the inline edit field. We've seen in user testing that this can be very disconcerting for users and want as much as we can to maintain the illusion that they are editing in place.

Unassigning so this can go into the development pool of bugs.
