lynx-dev Non-breakable space ignored

[Ilya Zakharevich]

I'm puzzled by handling of HT_NON_BREAK_SPACE in GridText.c.  Looks
like non-breakable spaces are ignored for all purposes but
justification.  E.g., if the alignment style is RIGHT or CENTER, they
are ignored *completely*: for the purposes of line breaks, for the
purpose of calculation of alignment (etc?).  E.g., centering gives

                               a
                               b_______

(here _ represents non-breakable space).  Is this as intended, or just
an oversight?

Yours,
Ilya
