           Summary: non-breaking spaces in form submitted text fields
           Product: WebKit

          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal

Version 4.0.4 (6531.21.10, r55270)

Apologies if this is a dupe, but I can't find the exact bug. 

This started in the last week or so. A simple test is to use the Google search
bar (not a form field) to search for a phrase, e.g. "looking for a song" which
Google then turns into 

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=looking+for+a+song&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Then edit the search phrase in the text field in the page, for example "looking
for a song that I can sing" and click the search button. Google now shows the
non-breakings spaces:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=looking+for+a+song%C2%A0that%C2%A0I%C2%A0can%C2%A0sing&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

The %C2%A0 or \0xA0 is causing all kinds of grief, for example in dailymile.com
where Webkit nightly form submits wrap oddly (at - or —) or not at all. See for
example
