Aug 18, 2016 at 16:36 comment added LSpice @S.Carnahan, indeed, the MMSE post linked by AsafKaragila appears to indicate that this is just a parsing problem (which Sklivvz points out is now fixed), not a typing problem. Thanks for checking!

Aug 18, 2016 at 8:41 comment added S. Carnahan Mod I have encountered the same problem recently with some of my old comments. Furthermore, when I try to edit the comment (using my moderator powers), there appears to be nothing wrong with the typed text. Rather, it seems that any long unbroken string of text gets spaces automatically inserted during rendering. I would guess that this is a recently implemented way to defeat "window-widening" attacks, and I suppose it needs a bit of tweaking.
Aug 17, 2016 at 21:21 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod On the one hand, I'd consider two identical bug reports on two different venues a waste of time; but it's likely that other MO users will run into this, so informing them that this is a known issue is not a bad thing. Closing as a duplicate is impossible anyway, since this is a across the network.
Aug 17, 2016 at 21:16 comment added LSpice @StefanKohl, the question linked by AsafKaragila seems to be the same issue. You can see it reproduced in the comments there. (I went looking for some other instances "in the wild", simply by going through my MathOverflow history, but can't find them now—there's a lot of MO in my history.)
Aug 17, 2016 at 21:15 comment added LSpice @AsafKaragila, actually, that seems to be exactly the same issue. Should I close this question?
