When you create a Mention of an Entity, not only does it automatically add an actual “space” into the text after the Entity Mention (OK, that makes some sense), but there is _also_ essentially some padding around the Mention, particularly at the end. Here you see an entity mention with _no_ text space, this is all just the “padding” or whatever that is rendered with the entity:

IMO I should be able to squash entity mentions together with the text that follows them if I want to! 😛 The underline differentiates them enough for me. So basically I think the end of the entity mention should act just like any other character. Have the default text space inserted after, that’s fine and makes some sense, but this non-removable space is 😡

Yes, this is a very minor but for me _very_ annoying thing. There may be debate about whether this is a “bug”, but I’m more sure it’s not a “feature”. 😄
