Youtube Description 'Bug'?

Hello everyone!

I don't by any means trying to advertise myself in this thread.

So my issue is that I recently made a Youtube video and I came across some kind of issue I have never faced.
My Youtube description doesn't want to allow me to use space(Pictures below).

It wouldn't be a problem if I just couldn't position the text in the middle but it merges the text in many spaces.
I hope someone can clarify me whether this is a 'feature' or is it my browser or am I missing something obvious here.
Thanks!

I wouldn't say it's a bug, but removing the spaces is standard for a lot of coding languages. I think it's because spaces (or tabs) are often used to format the code so that it is readable. Sometimes they are a requirement for the code to work. :o You wouldn't necessarily want the browser to display all of the code formatting, so multiple spaces are automatically removed.

An Example:
Code: 
<html>
<body>
   <div>
        Spaces help make code readable. ^^
   </div>
</body>
</html>

using "&nbsp;" instead of spaces might work, but I've never tried it... :o

Thanks for the reply.
The &nbsp; works, but having to put 50 &nbsp; just to get it where I want isn't the right way to do it, I'm just going to leave it as it is.
One more thing. I'm new to this forum, there is a 'Cash' counter under my avatar, what is cash used for on this site ?

Forum cash is earned by posting quality threads and replies on the forum. The forum cash is fake money that has two functions:

It can be transferred between members:

And it can also be used to purchase advanced memberships and signature tools in the "shop":
http://yttalk.com/shop/

There are two kinds of memberships that you can purchase: the "Videos access" and the "VIP" memberships. Both memberships give you access to posting threads in the "Videos & Channels" forum (http://yttalk.com/forums/videos-channels.9/), but the VIP also allows you to put a video in your signature

This thread has more information about the VIP membership and forum cash:

There are also some banned characters in the description I think. I seem to remember trying to use the "greater than" symbol (>) and it refusing to save until I removed it. I guess they've had people abusing it by using them as arrows.
