Error description

• Environment:
  - Microsoft Windows
      - Product: RSA 8.5
  
  Reproducible: Y
  
  Description of problem:
  
  The fix of PM73705 that was introduced in RSA 8.5.1 has adverse
  consequence for UML to Java Transformation.
  After this defect fix, every space is represented by ?nbsp;
  This is fine for the documentation itself, but the   ?nbsp;  is
  then emitted in the Javadocs by the UML to Java transformation.
  
  Steps to reproduce
  
  With Rich text option enabled by default, if you add this text
  as documentation of a new UML Class:
  
  This is one line
  
  This is another line
  
  and yet another one.
  
  
  
  (where you pressed ENTER between lines) and then run a UML to
  Java transformation, it gets transformed to:
  /**
  
   * ?!-- begin-UML-doc --?
  
   *
  
  ?p?This?nbsp;is?nbsp;one?nbsp;line?/p??p?This?nbsp;is?nbsp;anoth
  er?nbsp;
  line?/p??p?and?nbsp;yet?nbsp;another?nbsp;one.?/p?
  
   * ?!-- end-UML-doc --?
  
   * @author 098561
  
   * @generated 'UML to Java
  
  (com.ibm.xtools.transform.uml2.java5.internal.UML2JavaTransform)
  '
  
   */
  
  public class Class1 {
  
  }
  
  Workaround
  
  No known workaround.

  UML to Java transformation replaced all spaces in UML
  documentation with ?nbsp in the generated Java code.
  

Problem conclusion

  UML documentation with ?nbsp in the generated Java code.
