Problem with Whitespaces / MacOSX (Illegal Character) [message #1038969]

Hi guys!
I have a strange issue with Eclipse Juno (20120920-0800) / OSX 10.7.5.
When writing code ( no copy & paste ) the editor randomly generates whitespace characters that are detected as "Illegal Character" by the compiler. Only when deleting the space and hitting space again the error disappears. Strangely this only happens when declaring a method header.

I have the default US-ASCII encoding + Unix file line delimiter set up.

Does anyone know a quick way to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance -

Kind Regards,

Simon

Solved - Apparently this always happened when alt+space was pressed. Changing the Keybindings does the trick:

(Quoted from superuser.com)

Make your ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict file look like this (if it doesn't exist create it, if there are already bindings in it just add the one from below):

{
"~ " = ("insertText:", " ");
}

What does this do? Every time you press Option-Space instead of inserting a non breaking space OS X now inserts a regular space. Problem fixed.
