How do we prevent Madcap Flare from injecting non-breaking spaces in our documentation?
We use Madcap Flare for our documentation, and it has an annoying property: if you happen to have the shift key down when you type a space, it inserts a non-breaking space (` `). Our documentation covers SQL, so things like `CREATE TABLE` are common and too often come out as `CREATE TABLE`. Not only does that mess up our page formatting sometimes (wide table sells, ugly line-wrap, etc), but there have been times when we've had to search the source for something and we've missed cases because of this. I found the keyboard shortcuts in the settings and changed the global key binding for non-breaking space to something else that I won't type by accident, but it didn't help.  I searched Flare's forums and didn't find an answer there. We'd rather prevent Flare from inserting these than write post-processing scripts to remove them. Can we?
