I've got   running amok and Drupal for Firebug is involved. I'm getting 28,000+ " " instances on a single page and I don't even have very much content!

I thought my page loads seemed unusually slow lately so I checked my raw output. I had 28,162   instances on just one page! This was with Safari 4. I checked the same page with FireFox and still had 5,330.

I turned off Drupal for FireBug Module (the Drupal for Firebug Preprocessor was still active) and then the raw output from both browsers only had 8 instances of " ".

I don't have time to dig too deeply on this but I can tell you that I've got great swaths of

s that start with 12 or more   instances followed immediately by which should not normally be on any of my pages. I'm using a Zen sub-theme but I found no source for this in Zen or my theme. Is there some bad interaction with Zen? (Maybe I'll have to start chanting " " as a mantra to try to make this disappear.)

(BTW, have you ever tried to search the forums for something like " "?)

I was not able to replicate this problem and suspect that there is some text processing happening in your subtheme. The $closure variable is what outputs the DFF information (including the  ), perhaps you are doing a check_plain() or something against that?
