in fact, ctrl-b also has odd unicode terrors, but they're invisible - unless you..... hit shoe wiki text.

once bold then _slanted_ if you use the toolbar buttons, worse if you use ctrl-i/b

if you go from wrting tml and convert to html, its ok, so presumably, we're passing the char even on to the textarea when we should eat it.

I think this is a TinyMCE issue. I've tried Ctrl-b / Ctrl-i on the TinyMCE test site: http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php and it inserts strange characters there as well. Not sure how to fix this. Need to open an upstream bug maybe? We could have Wysywyg remove those particular strings from the topics, but that might cause issues if someone really wants the string in the topic.

These are zero-width or invisible whitespace characters which are inserted to avoided cursor positioning problems on some browsers - for some reason in Foswiki cleanup : true fails to run TinyMCE's cleanup routine when it serializes the HTML

Confirmed. Still happening on Foswiki trunk with latest TMCE 3.5.7 installed. Inserts  http://trunk.foswiki.org/Sandbox/TestWysiwyg?raw=on

Simple fix. But not sure if this really is right. Also, we should remove the "cleanup : true" option from TinyMCEPlugin/data/System/TinyMCEPlugin.txt as it is deprecated.
