--- Comment #7 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
Yes, I found that somehow, all my non-breaking spaces in my <nbsp><sp> pairs of
spaces between sentences had been lost: changed into just plain <sp><sp>.  I
did a regexp search and replace to fix them all.  Some days later, I noticed
that wherever the replacement was made and the end of the sentence was in
italics, it copied the italic style across to the first character of the next
sentence.  

Likewise, where the end of the 1st sentence was Regular, and the 2nd sentence
was italic, the 1st character of the italic sentence was changed to Regular.

Caused me a lot of work to manually find and fix them.  This is a truly
horrible bug.  Because you can't search for text and include atribute style
changes, you can't easily find them, and you certainly can't fix them with a
big search and replace.  Given that my novel is over 130,000 words long, his
bug is really punishing me.

That's twice, now, this bug has affected my novel, and I've had to manually fix
it.  At least this time I found this bug report, and found what caused it, so I
can at least use a search for likely sentence-starts with italic format, to
narrow the search, even if each fix must be done manually.

An odd thing I noticed while fixing this, too: when the Find&Replace dialog has
focus, all the comments in the document are not displayed.  But when I click
back into the document and select the text to correct the italicisation of, the
comments are still not displayed: they instantly reappear however when I either
clear the formatting or set the text to italic: not before.  That seems odd, so
I thought I'd mention it.
