Problem

When working with segments having internal tags, it may happen that some of those tags will get duplicated indices.

For example, if segment source has

word1<1/>word2⎵word3<2/>word4

assuming <1/> and <2/> are internal tags, and ⎵ - is a whitespace NBSP tag,

but you replicate that into segment target as:

1. type "word1"
2. press Ctrl + comma, release 1 - to copy <1/> from source
3. type "word2"
4. insert "⎵" i.e. nbsp via specialchars menu, and internally it is inserted as <2/>
5. type "word3"
6. i press Ctrl + comma, release 2 - to copy <2/> from source
7. type "word4"

and the you hover mouse on ⎵ - you'll see "<2/>..." in the tooltip.

So this means we have two "<2/>" tags in target, the first one is a result of a specialchar NBSP insertion, and a second one is a result of a tag copy from source{}

Solution

The logic should be changes to make indices unique within segment target, and it should be discussed and decided whether is should be done on browser-side, or on server-side when segment is saved
