Non-breaking spaces in text.
It looks like the issue of non-breaking space is not working, is actually related to Modern Text which is based on Microsoft's DirectWrite API.
If you change your Storyline to use classic text (by going to Design tab -> Fonts, and un-check "Use Modern Text"), then the non-breaking space should work properly.
But for sure Modern Text style provides a better text rendering result, so if you decide to change it back to Classic Text, the side effect would be losing all the benefits introducing from Modern Text.
(Classic Text is using Microsoft's Uniscribe API)
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either. I've checked, I have never used modern text but the non-breaking space doesn't work. Just like Darren described it, I can insert it, it just won't work.
This is really making (editing) life more difficult than it should be. So, as mentioned by others a couple of years (!) earlier, I'm looking forward to a solution (i.e. non-breaking space insertable AND working).
