Bad JSON in application credential example

[Olaf Seibert]

In the form for creating application credentials, there is an example of what you can fill in for Access Rules.

One would expect that the example works, but it doesn't.

I attach a screen shot.

The issue is likely that there are non-breakable spaces in the example, which aren't valid JSON.
The YAML example also doesn't work.

It seems to depend on how a browser copies-and-pastes from a code snipet (with  ) to a form.
Google Chrome allows me to paste the example as a valid JSON or YAML, but Firefox does not.

[Akihiro Motoki (amotoki)]

Ideally, all browsers works consistently on pasting HTML to a text node like textarea.
While it is not a fix but a workaround for different behaviors across browsers, I think horizon can replace NBSP to ASCII space during the validation process like:

 rules = rules.replace('\xa0', ' ')

in openstack_dashboard/dashboards/identity/application_credentials/forms.py.

I was indeed using Firefox. I didn't think to try another browser, sorry.
