Startindex cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: startindex

Hi folks,
I have 7 xlf files (as exported from Transifex). I am done with translation, and now I want to run QA. However, when I press F8, I get the above-referenced error message.
First I tried to run QA for all [multiple] files. Then I did it for each file individually and I could find the file (1 out of 7) that gives this error message. I have translated 300+ such xlf files for this client. This is a first for me.
Any idea how can I fix it? It is not that critical to me because only a single file is affected, but I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

  • Yes, there is a segment that only contains a nonbreaking space. Originally, it was a code ( ), but then I ran the Cleanup Source batch task to replace all html codes with true symbols. So now there is a true nonbreaking space in the source segment. After a trial, I found that when I import a translated file back into Transifex, it does not affect the source part of the file, and even though I run the Cleanup Source batch task in Trados, the source part remains unchanged in Transifex. Hence I decided recently to run the Cleanup Source batch task for all my future Transifex jobs before starting my work.
