--- Comment #9 from Seán Ó Séaghdha <[email protected]> ---
It’s not unusual for phonetic (IPA) markup to cross word boundaries, since
spaces don’t have any direct correlation with speech.

One of my examples also uses Ruby text for translation, which cannot be applied
at the word level.

I think the main issue is that if the system suggests that you can do these
things, regardless of whether the feature is intended to work that way, it
should at least not be destructive of the underlying text.

I get the impression spaces are discarded before the dialog is displayed, but
leaving that aside, what problem would retaining spaces in “Grouped” text
cause?

Would Japanese or Chinese text selected for Ruby be likely to contain spaces?
