[Solved]Anki ZWSP At End of Every Line

I have just installed Arch on a new computer and transferred my anki deck over. However, when I review the cards every line has a square with the letters ZWSP. This appears to be a unicode symbol for zero width space. This is very annoying because there are several of these symbols on every card.

I have anki installed on another computer with Arch Linux and this does not occur. The version of anki on my new computer is 1.29 and my old computer is 1.28.

Also, this message appears when I start anki 1.29 on the command line (does not appear in anki 1.28)

 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/anki/deck.py:3597: SAWarning: Unicode column received non-unicode default value.
  Column('name', UnicodeText, nullable=False, default=""), 

I have tried downgrading to anki 1.28 on the new computer, however I get a ton of errors about sqlalchemy and other related packages when trying to downgrade to the old package and anki 1.28 will not run.

Anyone know of a method to make these symbols disappear. Thanks.

You'll probably get more of a response on Anki's own support forum.

I would guess maybe it's due to sqlite 3.7.7.1

In case if anyone else has this problem, the fix is to disable the Thai fix in the advanced preferences of anki.
