For some time I have been experiencing a few problems with the changing of formatting within articles etc. Typically these showed themselves as repeating space characters being converted to '’non breaking spaces’ ( ). and then after saving a second time being converted to ‘A caret’ characters.
Web searches showed that many others have seen these types of problems as well, although there were no definitive solutions, despite many suggestions that didn’t work when we tried them.

These tend to become very annoying over time so we think we might now have a solution that seems to work for us.
