Forum bug: space inserted before colon
 

A bug in the forum software: when I type two words with a colon in the middle, like:this, it inserts a space before the colon. This happened here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...postid=1725007 when I tried to refer to the Firefox preferences, and it messed up an URL also.

If I try to edit my post, it doesn't show the extra space but it's there again when I commit the edit.

EDIT: Okay, now it obviously isn't happening... Does this depend on the forum? Just:testing.

Hrrm, that's odd, I've never seen that before.

I've never encountered this here on this forum in 4 years..

I can't seem to reproduce this.

Maybe it's only a glitch then. I'll report if it happens again on the Software forum (or somewhere else) and try to use those colon words as much as possible.
