[nextgen-editor] Line breaks converted to   on page save leading to   stacking on repeated save

[Currey]

With Line Breaks enabled in settings, line breaks in content are converted to a double space upon save; That's all fine and dandy, as is Markdown standard practice. The issue arises when that page is saved again. Upon an additional save, the double space is converted to   and a new double space is added after it to retain the line break. Multiple saves can lead to      stacking.

I have tried replacing line breaks with <br>, unfortunately, they are converted back to markdown line break on save, and then the issue reoccurs.

I have Enable Non-breaking Space Transformations disabled as I require specific use of   for typographic reasons, however, enabling the transformation option doesn't appear to have any effect.

This is particularly frustrating for content that is centred. In my current use case, I have an arrangement of team member's details (photo, name, title, role, etc.). Content is centred, and the title and role are separated by a line break. With each save, a   is appended to the title, increasing the title line's width and off-centring it from the role line below it.

Perhaps an option to disable converting double spaces to  ? Or perhaps parse the markdown differently.
