Bread Crumb Navigation Separator

I have a problem with setting the Bread Crumb Navigation Separator from the Control Panel/Forum Skin. I want to set the bread crumb to be [ > ] (without the brackets of course). However I always end up getting [ >] (it renders the second space). I tried putting [ > ] it didn't work too it saves [ >&nbsp]. The only way it works is to change it directly in the database, but that's annoying to do, cause whenever another skin setting is altered (for example changing the top banner) everything gets messed up again. This problem happens with the MySQL version of it, I tried the access version too and it worked well there. Is this a bug or....?
