We're having issues with how tags are being outputted.

<strong>Hello World</strong> is showing the correct output of Hello World

But users are usually double clicking word for word to highlight and then select "Bold" resulting in
<strong>Hello</strong><strong>World</strong>

While in the editor is still has a space as "Hello World" but in the actual web page it shows "HelloWorld" it removes all spaces

Additional info

  • Craft version: 4.16.11
  • CKEditor version: 3.14.0

    Hi, thanks for getting in touch! I’m not able to reproduce this. Do you have any custom configuration in the CKEditor Config used by the field where this happens? Anything under “Config Options” in particular? Are you using any custom HTML Purifier config? How are you outputting the content of that field in your template?

    Hello! Yeah we have this on config
    { "code": { "indentSequence": " " }, "link": { "addTargetToExternalLinks": true, "decorators": { "nofollow": { "attributes": { "rel": "nofollow" }, "label": "No-follow", "mode": "manual" } } } }
    And yes we have HTML Purifier on
    Image

    For the template it's just a regular twig output
    {{ article.content}}

    Thanks! And what’s the content of your config/htmlpurifier/Default.json, please?

    Thanks for responding. Here's what we have:

    {
  "Attr.AllowedFrameTargets": [
    "_blank"
  ],
  "Attr.EnableID": true,
  "HTML.AllowedComments": [
    "pagebreak"
  ],
  "HTML.SafeIframe": true,
  "URI.SafeIframeRegexp": "%^(https?:)?//(www.youtube.com/embed/|player.vimeo.com/video/)%"
}
