Non-breaking spaces are not being treated as spaces/word boundaries for keyboard
navigation. Thus when one uses Control+{Left, Right} Arrow to navigate word by
word, one finds him-/herself moving phrase by phrase instead. Text selection
is, of course, similarly affected: Given a series of words separated by
non-breaking spaces, the only way to select a couple of words within that series
via the keyboard is character by character.
I've marked this as an accessibility defect because this behavior can be
confusing for users who are blind.
