# wp:paragraph adding nbsp

 * Encountering a baffling issue since I’ve migrated my site from Jekyll to WordPress.
 * Using the latest version of WordPress and noticing that my content just “looks”
   really weird — words are wrapping in strange ways, some being cutoff, etc. At
   first I thought the theme was doing something funky with the CSS in terms of `
   word-wrap`, but it looked normal.
 * When I flipped from the visual editor to the code editor, I noticed that in EVERY
   single wp:paragraph block, there was a ` ` added between each word. When
   I removed them manually and went to preview, the content appeared to be structured
   as I’d expect.
 * Where are these coming from and how can I disable them?
    Thanks!

 * Probably this is caused by copy & paste.
    What is the source of the original 
   content and how do you copy it into WordPress?

 * Well I’ll be…
 * Thanks [@willem0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willem0/) this is EXACTLY
   the issue.
 * I originally cut and pasted my site content via Visual Studio Code.
 * I tried the same thing from Sublime and presto — no ` ` and my content looks 
   great again.
 * Thank you so much!
