To reproduce the issue:
-Drag and drop the rating snippet.
-Change the score from options.
-Notice that spaces between icons disappear.
In the release notes[1] of jQuery 3.5.0, it's stated that security
fixes related to the HTML parser were implemented. Consequently,
self-closing e.g. `<i/>` tags inside function arguments were replaced
with e.g. `<i></i>`. As a result, trailing spaces lost significance,
causing icons to stick together.
Before the commit:
Prior to Odoo 16.2, jQuery 3.3.1 was utilized, which allowed the use
of self-closing tags in the append function. This behavior was as
expected.However, starting from Odoo 16.2, jQuery version 3.6.3 was
adopted.
After the commit:
Instead of using self-closing `<i/>` tags, `<i></i> ` with a trailing
space was used. This trailing space gained significance due to the
prefilter no longer ignoring it. Consequently, icons no longer stick
together after changing the score.
