Hi,
I am grappling with this bug report, and I'm not sure what the right
answer is.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100970
"The problem is linked to the key sequence I use to type pipe-space
with my keyboard layout : pipe is altgr+6 ant thus space is often
altgr+space which is defined as nobreakspace."
In a comment on the bug, Owen Taylor said:
"Actually, looking though the POSIX shell grammer, it implies that the
delimitation of tokens should be done based on isspace()/LC_CTYPE.
And in non-C locales, isspace(U+00A0) should be true; so perhaps in
theory this *is* a bash bug. [...]"
Should a non-breaking space be considered whitespace?
Tim.
