Safari adding no-break-spaces instead of spaces in IText

[mlev]

Version

1.7.11

Test Case

Kitchen Sink Demo

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Kitchen Sink Demo in Safari
2. In IText/Text box enter some text with spaces
3. Inspect text in Hex editor

Expected Behavior

Regular spaces are entered (0x20)

Actual Behavior

No break spaces are entered (0xC2A0)

Notes

• This seems due to the "whitespace: nowrap" css on the hidden textarea (I know this was added recently to fix wrapping bug in Chrome).
• Adding textarea attribute wrap="off" and removing "whitespace: nowrap" seems to work ok in Safari and Chrome (not tested other browsers).

what if i add wrap="off" and leave whitespace: nowrap?

Just retried and that still enters no-break-spaces in Safari.
