I just noticed that the rendering of task lists does not work correctly when using a german keyboard layout. It eventually work after re-editing the comment a few times at some point, but the effect can be seen as follows.

typed with a german keyboard layout

• [ ] item1
• [ ] item2

switched to an english keyboard layout

• [ ] item 1
• [ ] item2

Any idea what happens here and why this breaks?

Reproduced in master.

The issue is that this keyboard layout is inserting non-breaking spaces, which aren't matched by \s in ruby. We should use :space: instead.
