Summary04454: Default Help text to hidden if no text entered
Description

The question-mark icon for help text always appears, even if no help text is entered.

It would be good to set it to default that the question-mark icon is hidden if there is no text in the Help field for the question.

mfreund, can you provide a 1-question sample survey demonstrating the problem?

I figured out -- it's that the survey defaults to include a single space character in the Help field when a question is created. I went back and deleted those spaces, and the Help text is hidden when the survey is run.

So the task would then be to prevent that space from being automatically inserted into the Help text field when a question is created.

To be precise, it's a   character that's inserted into the Help text.

Oops -- that should read "& nbsp ;" -- nonbreaking space character.

It appears that even when I delete the nonbreaking space from the help text field, when I save the question it places the space there again.

So this issue has to do with that random space being inserted even when the user deletes it.

I just installed 1.90RC3 and the problem is still occurring.

Whenever I click the Edit button a question, the question displays with an nbsp character in the Help text field.

The space may be there, but the help text should not be showing. Did you check that?

Yes. The same tiny sample survey I created for 4514 also illustrates this. I'll upload the files here too.

Note the Help Text question mark in the screen shot, even though the field in the question setup contains only a "& nbsp ;" character.
