Every now and then I copy some sample code (e.g. JavaScript) from a web page (not from the source) and paste it into a BBEdit document. If I copy from Safari (which I use most of the time), and the sample code contains non-breakable space ( ), I easily don't notice those invisible characters, but they may cause my code to fail mysteriously, and I often waste too much time debugging. I know that BBEdit has this option on the Edit->Text Options to "Show invisibles", but I think it would have been useful if I could get a warning every time I pasted text containing invisible non-ASCII characters ... (I've experienced that the Opera browser fails if JavaScript code contains non-breakable space.)
