I found a bit of a spacing bug with some of my RP posts.
For some back ground information, I usually write my posts on my notes app on my IPod, and then copy/paste it onto Eggcave.
This bug occurs when there are three consecutive spaces with nothing touching them, I think- or just when they're too many spaces in general. ^^ When there are three consecutive spaces, an "A" with an arrow over its top appears as a space filler.

I'm not sure if this is a new implement onto the site, or if this is a bug? O_O I find it rather annoying, since it's blatantly pointing out all my spacing issues and making my posts look ugly.
I think this is something that happens for everyone, but I'm not sure. May I get some clarification on this phenomenon?

Testing it for others:
Types on the computer ((four spaces between most words))
The cat.

The cat.
The cat.

The cat .

Typed on my Notes App and pasted from my IPod:
    The cat.
The    cat.
The cat.    
    The    cat.    

UPDATE: Although it now seems to not be happening, many of my older posts have the annoying "A" still.

You can see the "A" on my post, post 13 in this forum. Also it seems that the first few posts, made by other people, seem to have a few text glitches as well. This looks ugly and displeasing to me, and to be honest, I dislike it and do not want to go back to fix each my posts one by one. :/

Yeah, that's weird o_o I use Notes too, but then I haven't been practicing that trendy spacing of yours CX
I actually tried it, a space before a new paragraph, but for some reason it just didn't show up on the post o_o
