The frontend inserts invisible BOM (EFBBBF) characters into the saved segment

XMLWordPrintable

      problem

      The rangy lib in the frontend uses the character EFBBBF (ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, U+FEFF) as internal marker. It seems that this marker is not removed properly on segment saving.

      solution

      1. protect this character on import with a tag
      2. remove that character when saving a segment
      3. remove that character on export. Basicly it should not be contained in usable data.
