Why non-braking space does not follow letter-spacing?

[Peter Hillerström]

Is there some reason that non-braking space does not follow word spacing
values just like regular space does, or is it just sloppy programming
from Macromedia as usual?

IMO, the only difference between them should be that non-braking space
prevents breaking adjacent words into separate lines.

Full, working Opentype support, text-blocks that does not loose colour
and hundreds of other bug fixes and improvements would again make
Freehand equal to Adobe products... (wink, wink ;-)

Sloppy programming. Thanks for pointing this out though. I've haven't
spotted it before, as I ususally use the (badly worded) 'Keep lines
together/selected words' option to keep words together. So you have that
option at least.
