I see that it's disabled in "bitakora_edit_js" where ever that is. I've
tried my best to locate it both in the filesystem and in the ZMI to no
avail. I assume it's in the database? Is there anyway to edit it or
simply get rid of it?

Yep, Bitakora includes its own EpozPostTidy.py which has a part that
replaces whitespace. Not a good default. I'm removing it from my
install for the time being, but I'm already hacking up so much stuff
just to make Bitakora usable that I'm starting to fear an upgrade.
