If I delete the asterisk from the following code while in normal view:
<h3>Surveillance time</h3>
* minutes (h:mm hours)
<h3>Not for public release before date</h3>

Composer changes it to this code:
<h3>Surveillance time</h3>
&nbsp;
minutes (h:mm hours)
<h3>Not for public release before date</h3>

Which works out as two spaces then the cursor then the word "minute", in normal
view.

Reproducible: Always

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
