I couldn't find a ticket for this so am opening one here. Not sure if this is component Braille or Browse mode (or something else!).
When you nest text in multiple HTML elements that have braille indicators, these indicators are separated by two spaces. The attached HTML file is an example to clarify and demonstrate the problem.

Is this double-spacing done by design? On a 20-cell display this "wastes" 5% of the display width, while on larger displays it means more moving your finger around to get to the actual text. This might not seem like such a big deal, but it really can get in the way if you're going the braille-only route.

Tested with IE11, but if I read the code correctly this should happen in all virtual buffers.
