Description

If I write a text with many spaces, currently - in the description field and also using inline code in the description - redmine seems to reduced multiple spaces to one.
For the normal description this might be fine, but if you use markdown and inline code, you wouldn`t expect that spaces are reduced.

If you take a look at gitlab/github, the spaces will remain in inline code using markdown.

The following patch fixes the issue.

I only inspected the html code element and thought there is some sort of string replacement. But you are right, its purely CSS.
Tested with chrome development console on our redmine instance, looks fine with the fix.
