Here's my problem:

  1. use a Mac with OS X 10.8.0
  2. use the hosted (Atlassian OnDemand) Confluence
  3. edit a page
  4. try to insert a non-breaking space

I have no idea how to insert that non-breaking space. I've tried finding a macro and I've tried using ' ', to no avail.

Help would be appreciated!

Hello Ernst,

As you're using a hosted Confluence then I would suggest you to raise a support ticket at our support.atlassian.com and then take a better look into this behaviour with one of our Engineers, this would be the best approach here.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

LJ.

The Symbol menu has apparently gone to menu heaven?

The only work-around I've found i to insert a non-breaking in a Word document, then copying it over. This does what I expect. But it is not, shall we say, super convenient.

Under the Symbol menu, first selection right before the & (it is a space, but once you mouse-over it correctly, it will stay "non-break space"

Option + space bar is supposed to insert an ascii non-breaking space (ascii 255) on Macs.
