Removes space at end of line

Should I continue reporting space removals like these 2 ones?
Or are these spaces removed on purpose?

On the contrary, here spaces got inserted.

Do you mean all of the problem mentioned on this page are due to this bug?

I believe the whitespace changes are a separate issue. Reopening so that those don't get lost.

Please open separate bug tickets for each bug in future. :-)

I tested the following 4 pages and am recording my findings here. Once we go through the other pages, we should close this bug and create new bugs where necessary.

On the following two pages, I can reproduce in Firefox, but the edit is clean in Chrome. So, this is definitely Firefox specific, not sure if it is JQuery-related or something else.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neritina_rubricata

On the following two pages, I can reproduce the spurious diffs in both Firefox and Chrome even though I didn't edit the relevant areas. I haven't looked at the diffs yet. So, this is quite likely some kind of whitespace change in the DOM that VE sends Parsoid.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_portable_computers -- It appears that the table is being marked as edited even though I didn't edit the table.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Hendershott -- the list is being marked as edited because of some whitespace normalization when VE loads/saves the DOM.

We're now three bugs fixed into this stack. Closing. Others should be opened as other bugs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Hendershott still shows the same symptoms. Is this fix not yet deployed?

Sorry, the meaning of "VE-deploy-2013-05-13" is meant to be pretty clear, but evidently isn't! It'll go out with 1.22wmf4, so on the English Wikipedia on 20 May.
