So we're running into an issue with Confluence that inserts a set of garbage characters when editing the content of a page.
The occurrance is sporadic, but there's one instance where it always happens.
- Open a page to edit (that has macros on it that allow text to be inserted within them (like a column).
- Whether the macro is empty or has text within it, Edit that macro.
- Here, the preview panel in the overlay window will have..
- Â - that character will be inserted as such <p>Â </p>. Which commonly appears before and after a macro, but without the extra character.
- ’ - will appear in place of apostrophes
- †- will appear before quotation marks
- The insertion of these characters also continues to layer, after edit upon edit.
- If I don't cleanup the characters manually, after a few times this will appear in the location of the <p> </p> items... ÂÂÂÂ
Attempts we've made at alleviating this were based on information we've found in these locations.
