Version 4.0.4 (6531.21.10, r55270) Apologies if this is a dupe, but I can't find the exact bug.  This started in the last week or so. A simple test is to use the Google search bar (not a form field) to search for a phrase, e.g. "looking for a song" which Google then turns into  http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=looking+for+a+song&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Then edit the search phrase in the text field in the page, for example "looking for a song that I can sing" and click the search button. Google now shows the non-breakings spaces: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=looking+for+a+song%C2%A0that%C2%A0I%C2%A0can%C2%A0sing&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= The %C2%A0 or \0xA0 is causing all kinds of grief, for example in dailymile.com where Webkit nightly form submits wrap oddly (at - or —) or not at all. See for example http://www.dailymile.com/people/nuthatch/entries/1072400 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17631 may be similar issue.
