           Summary: multiple space are eaten with irc rich text
           Product: konversation
           Version: Git
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: ircview
        AssignedTo: argonel at gmail.com
        ReportedBy: b.buschinski at web.de
                CC: konversation-devel at kde.org


Version:           Git (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

For the follwing examples I am going to ignore the rich text effect.

If you write text like
"test %C09 test"
it will be shown as
"test test"
with just one space.

The text is correctly generated and passed to KTextBrowser as
"test <font color="#00ff00"> test</font>"
(still 2 spaces)

This behavior seems to be known, as there is a "workaround" in
ircview.cpp line 1089
    // Replace a pair of spaces with "<space>&nbsp;" to preserve some semblance
of text wrapping.
    filteredLine.replace("  ", " \xA0");

but "test %C09 test" is not pair of spaces, so it does not apply.

And as the comment says replacing all spaces does not work as it would break
text wrapping.

NOTE: this happens with all irc richtext chars, bold, italic, underlined...
NOTE2: this also happens with konv 1.2.3

Reproducible: Always
