If you imported a gedcom and got spaces in the middle of words then this is *not* a bug. It's caused by using an incorrect import option. The original gedcom design for breaking up long notes into short lines was to break them at a space. On import these lines were rejoined and a space was added between them. However this resulted in multiple spaces being reduced to only one upon import because the quantity of spaces was unknown and so was assumed to be just one. The gedcom design was later changed so that long notes were broken in the middle of words. On import these lines are rejoined and no spaces are added. This is the current standard. Because some older gedcoms may contain notes with lines broken at spaces, Legacy has an option to use either method. If you ended up with spaces being inserted in the middle of words then your gedcom was imported using the old standard. To correct these re-import the data using the "Note Options" for "Lines are broken in the middle of words". Hope this helps.
