Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 15
### What happened
I got an error copying this code into Netbeans:
Opening it in Visual Studio Code, the code contains **No-Break Spaces**.
Messages and highlighting invisible characters in Netbeans does not help to understand this error
### How to reproduce
- Go to https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.generators.syntax.php,
- Go to section **yield from with iterator_to_array()**,
- Copy the sample code to a php file in Netbeans.
Or copy the code:
```php

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the PHP sample in the NetBeans editor using the documented no-break spaces, then inspect how the editor reports and highlights these characters. Done means the copied sample produces an understandable diagnostic or highlighting that identifies the offending characters.
