[confirmed] Non-breaking spaces broken in editor in group discussions

If, in the post editor's 'CSS' mode, you enter a leading or trailing spaces, the editor tries to convert them to   entities, but when posted, the ampersands get turned into & entities themselves. So, for example, if I try to make a post that says (quotes added just to highlight white space):

" piggy plops "

the generated HTML in the page is:

 piggy plops 

and so the browser renders it as:

 piggy plops 

It should, of course, appear as:

piggy plops

[Edit: It also happens with double spaces after a full stop. So "A b c. E f g" will appear as "A b c.  E f g"]
