> String to numeric conversion does not support non-breaking spaces
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-13168
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13168
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ALL COMPONENTS
> Affects Versions: 18.12.16, Upcoming Branch
> Reporter: Florian Motteau
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Peek 05-11-2024 10-59.mp4,

> When submitting a form with numeric values, OFBiz uses a text input (`<input
> type="text"/>`), so all characters (entered by hand or pasted) are allowed in
> the input.
> On form's submission, for numeric fields, the string is parsed using
> `java.text.NumberFormat` class (parse method), using a number instance
> formatter.
> This formatter does not supports non-breaking spaces ('\u00A0', '\u202F',
> '\u2007'), and characters after a non-breaking space are ignored :
> !image-2024-11-05-11-01-13-030.png|width=337,height=153!
> This can lead to a situation where a visually correct form stores wrong
> values :
> [^Peek 05-11-2024 10-59.mp4]
> One of our client reported this situation while pasting values from external
> tools. Some values where truncated, because the external tool used
> non-breaking spaces when displaying values.
