I'm experiencing an odd problem on my board: leading space characters are being improperly escaped. The CKEditor attempts (correctly) to preserve leading space characters on a given line to but on Chrome only it's instead converting these to this sequence of chars:
That string, verbatim, is what I see posted on the forum instead of a leading space. This happens on its own and also inside [code] blocks.
This affects only leading spaces, not spaces between words or trailing space. I wasn't able to replicate this on this board (in the test forum). The problem is not storage related - the browser is actually submitting the improper character sequence to the server. This is a snippet of what I see being POSTed to the server in the network tab of the Chrome developer console:
And this is what I see when I perform the same test on this (vbulletin.com) board:
I'm running 5.1.19 as an upgrade all the way from the 3.x series (which did not have this issue). I've looked here, on JIRA and elsewhere on the web and I've seen other Chrome-related issues that seem similar, but are not this specific problem. This stackexchange article may be relevant:
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Code:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="text"  <-- this should be a space

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="text" <-- this should be a space
