Description: For my professional work, I require the ability to type advanced Hebrew diacritical marks offered in the input source of Biblical Hebrew - Tiro. I have installed ( downloadable as http://www.sbl-site.org/Fonts/BiblicalHebrewKeyboardsInstallerOSX.zip ; and found at http://opensiddur.org/help/typing/ at the words "keyboard layout and install") the input source keyboard of Biblical Hebrew - Tiro onto my MacBook Pro High Sierra 10.13.2. Whenever I type what should just be a regular space with the Biblical Hebrew - Tiro keyboard, I end up with a grey quadrangle in between the Biblical Hebrew words I am typing. I have posted an example of this error at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10103610833158202&set=p.10103610833158202&type=3&theater Please correct such that the Unicode of whatever the spacebar's character is on the Biblical Hebrew - Tiro keyboard can be read by LibreOffice as a regular space. http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm?q=%C2%A0&preview=entity seems to believe that the space is supposed to be just a regular space. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Biblical Hebrew - tiro. 2. Open word document in LibreOffice. 3. After selecting Biblical Hebrew - tiro as the input source language in LibreOffice, type space. 4. See what happens. Actual Results: Grey space. Expected Results: Just a plain old space: U+00A0 or something of that sort. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This is very important to me and to my work, and I value your work too. I am going to make a donation quite shortly to LibreOffice because I am amazed by this word processor. The company (DavkaCorp) behind my favorite Hebrew word processor is closing this month, and I anticipate that their DavkaWriter program will soon no longer work after just a few more system updates. I am trying to learn how to use LibreOffice fast and efficiently to continue the work that I do, and I have been very impressed so far--with the exception of this space feature. I look forward to the bug being fixed. Thank you so much. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

No, it is pointing to a non-breaking space: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00a0/index.htm The manifestation of a non-breaking space in LibreOffice is exactly like you say: a grey rectangle. To learn more: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Inserting_Protected_Spaces,_Hyphens_and_Conditional_Separators Your Hebrew keyboard software has a reason to use them: they do not want to separate the words at the end of a line. Closing as this is valid input coming from a 3rd party software.
