HTML editor exclamation mark bug

Hi everyone,

I'm having some issues with the HTML editor in Moodle 2.1.

I've written some text in Google Docs, and copied it into the editor - and all looks fine. I'm then using this text in a module and send it as an email. In the e-mail, the text has exclamation marks (!) at random locations (in the middle of words etc.) - when looking at the HTML code, there's no symbols, whitespaces, tags or anything at these locations.

After going through the HTML code (its a pretty long text) and removing any unneccessay tags (such as <span></span>) - the problem persists.
BUT after structuring the code (via PHPmyadmin), adding linefeeds here and there as well as space indents - the problem goes away.

Is this a common bug? Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
