--- Comment #15 from Neil Roberts <[email protected]> ---
Since 82e263550b81267611f90aecd1aeef163d47ed8a the menu option in the original
comment has become just “Espace insécable” with no article so I guess that
particular bug is fixed. But there is still “Espace insécable fin”. There’s
also “Ajouter un espace insécable avant les signes de ponctuation…” in the
localised options for AutoCorrect.

For what it’s worth, that dictionary now lists it as only feminine. Presumably
they updated it to the latest version of the source Wikipedia article which is
also only feminine.

But seeing as that’s talking about a piece of metal, this definition of the
space between two words is probably more relevant (and also only feminine)

For an example of usage, the website for https://bepo.fr always says « espace
fine insécable »

There are even a couple of cases in the LibreOffice help that use “une espace”
