The problem

When update status or replying to a status on Facebook spaces (' ') are removed.

In fact, they are not removed. I have the same problem since the last build. They just changed « normal » spaces into non breaking spaces. These spaces are used to link words together, it looks like a space, but it acts like a letter. However, and it’s a shame, very popular websites like Youtube, or Facebook (to match your attachment) don’t even know anything about it. It’s quite annoying because I use these spaces a lot in my mother tongue. Some other websites replace them with « * ».

You can create a non breaking space easily on a Mac, by combining alt+spacebar. 
Its hexadecimal sign is   and sometimes it’s also coded  .
