Policy Violation Error with any keyword: operand.criterion.text; trigger:' '

[johnvv]

When trying to add keywords to an adgroup, I get the error message:
PolicyViolationError.POLICY_ERROR @
operations[0].operand.criterion.text; trigger:' '

What's going on?
It seems it's flagging the very end of the string.

More info.... here's a add keyword fail for a 8 character keyword "my
keyword"

Hello everyone,

I had the same problem.

It turned out one of my spaces in the criterion text was a multibyte one.

I fixed this by converting the text to the right encoding and replacing the multibyte space with a normal space.
