Bug Description

Calibre version: 3.19.0 at Mac Osx 10.13.3

Text "im 1847 Manchaster" will be shown without space.

Can Calibre fix there visibility? It has to be shown right as: "im 1847 Manchaster" with the space sign.

example:

<span>example: im </span><span class="mmv-bold">1847 Manchester</span>

I cannot reproduce this. Iopened the following HTML file in the calibre
viewer:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>space</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <p><span>example: im </span><span class="mmv-bold">1847 Manchester</span></p>
    </body>
</html>

And there was a space after im

Do you mean the space is not being shown after conversion to some
format?

I'm afraid I am really not going to downlaod an 80MB epub to test this issue. Open you epub in the calibre editor and delete all the files except the ones needed to reproduce the issue and post that edited epub instead.

Ah, with that I can reproduce. It is basically caused by a bug in Qt
WebKit. This will be automatically fixed when calibre moves to either a
newer version of Qt WebKit or Qt WebEngine for the viewer (currently
waiting to see how the community WebKit fork stabilizes to decide).

@Eli you dont see it because on Arch the Qt webkit version used is the beta
of the community WebKit, already.
