Reproducible: Didn't try
This also affects vertical bars ( | ) as seen at ttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paper_Planes&diff=585505452&oldid=581736416
Another report of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback&diff=590211100&oldid=590159444
Another diff, this time involving a {{nowrap}} template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Jackson&curid=14995351&diff=595247974&oldid=595208734 This only seems to affect nbsp's that are present in ref names (where they probably oughtn't be anyway).
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colours_in_the_Dark_%28album%29&curid=39317223&diff=595492480&oldid=593715294 it appears that this happens on HTML codes for things other than non-breaking spaces. #124 is a vertical bar.
Other example on frwiki https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salon_international_de_l%27agriculture&curid=205829&diff=101773303&oldid=101729054 Apparently, the user didn't even modify the chapter where the problem occurs.
Here's another: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_%28band%29&curid=2308112&diff=600606533&oldid=600023816 This time, the ref name contained a template: <ref name="{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=the national|chart=Billboard 200}}"> Like most of the others, this is probably the result of a sloppy script.
Here's another: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fandango_%28wrestler%29&curid=21330399&diff=602066359&oldid=601951852 This one broke over """
I can't reproduce this in Chrome, Safari, Opera or Firefox. Is it possible that this is a browser plug-in or a very odd browser corruption?
It happened yesterday: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IPhone&curid=8841749&diff=604427150&oldid=604113181 I'll ask the user who encountered this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Jackson&curid=14995351&diff=603943260&oldid=603918451 since she's pretty active.
Thanks!
