Bug Description

Calibre V2.19.0/Windows 7 - no idea how to attach the files.

 Just downloaded latest Calibre. Docx to Mobi conversion is now removing all non-breaking space characters in the process. This did not happen with previous Calibre versions. I use non-breaking space to force line-feed etc at the end of quotes - eg ...-[NonBS]' otherwise it can look very odd on Kindle. I hope you can deal with this.

I am now perplexed - when I convert this file to Mobi it strips out the non-breaking spaces between reported speech marks [' "]but not end of sentence ones such as [... ']. If I copy just a few sentences as examples into a very short file and convert that, it all works perfectly. Maybe it is my system that has a problem - but this only started happening after Calibre 2.19 was installed - this file converted perfectly in an earlier version.
