This morning the non-breaking space shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + Space) in Phrase/Memsource has stopped working. According to the drop-down Edit > Insert symbol it has been replaced by Alt + Space, but this doesn't work either. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Fix: memoQ. The latest versions fully support Memphrase files.

In Phrase, can you edit the shortcut for that space? It's annoying they are using a different one now. I didn't know. Find/replace doesn't distinguish between a normal space and a non-breaking space either, which is not good.

It's in the desktop software. Are you using the web?

It was a bug in Phrase/Memsource. They have now fixed it and reverted to the way it used to be.
