Extraneous spaces appearing after
tags?
I'm using Twine 1.4 with Sugarcube 2. One problem I'm having is that extraneous non-break spaces are showing up at the beginning of the line following <br> tags inside of <<nobr>> blocks.
I have a seashell collecting minigame that involves clicking up to 4 squares on a 3x3 grid to look for seashells. The contents of the grid are a randomly shuffled array of strings. When clicked, the bottom of the passage <<display>>s a passage with the same name as the corresponding string, which shows the results of that click (if you found anything, and if so, what). After 4 clicks, the game ends and all of the squares become non-clickable text, and the array containing the strings is emptied (to be repopulated on the next play). The game itself works perfectly, but there are all these extraneous spaces that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Here's the passage code:
And here are some screenshots showing the extra lines:
At the start of the game:
Once the game is finished:
Any idea how I can get rid of these spaces? I feel like I must be overlooking something pretty simple.

The space characters generated by the <<nobr>> macro shouldn't cause the issue you are having.
<<click "Collect seashells">> <<symUp>> <<ghostCheck "seashells">> <<set $click0 to false>> <<set $click1 to false>> <<set $click2 to false>> <<set $click3 to false>> <<set $click4 to false>> <<set $click5 to false>> <<set $click6 to false>> <<set $click7 to false>> <<set $click8 to false>> <<set $seashellCount to 0>> <<set $seashellDisplay to "null">> <<set $seashellDud to Math.floor(Math.random() * (3 - 0 + 1)) + 0>> <<for _d to 0; _d lt $seashellDud; _d++>> <<set $seashellGame.push("shellDud")>> <</for>> <<if $shallowParts.length is 0>> <<for _s to 0; _s lt (9 - $seashellDud); _s++>> <<set $seashellGame.push($seashells.random())>> <</for>> <<else>> <<set $seashellGame.push($shallowParts.random())>> <<for _s to 0; _s lt (8 - $seashellDud); _s++>> <<set $seashellGame.push($seashells.random())>> <</for>> <</if>> <<set $seashellGame.shuffle()>> <</click>>There are a number of passages, but they all follow the same format:
<<nobr>> <<if $seashellCollect.contains("Fighting conch")>> You pick up a fighting conch. It's pretty, but you already have one of these. <<else>> You pick up a fighting conch. It has a pretty sheen. You put it in your pocket. <<set $seashellCollect.push("Fighting conch")>> <</if>> <</nobr>>
