[Github-comments] [geany] Hang on "Reflow" with lots of spaces (#848)

[elextr]

@b4n, no don't strip internal spaces, its common in some parts of the world to use two spaces between the full stop and the start of the next sentence.  It would be annoying if that was changed.

Also there is no need to strip trailing spaces, if the "strip trailing spaces" option is set then they go away when the file is saved anyway.

As for using anything other than ascii spaces for breaking, see the warning on the [link](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#g-unichar-isspace) @codebrainz posted.

Reflowing something containing tabs is hard to understand, why use a tab internally unless you want something aligned, but then you ask for it to be un-aligned :smile:  I'm not sure what the "right" thing to do is, maybe better to not do anything special.
