Why are strings having their spaces stripped in Mathematica Online

Questions

Hi:

“This is a String” is yielding ThisisaString when executed in Mathematica Online.
I first noticed this today when previously working PlotLabels in BarCharts had their spaces stripped. Doing a little checking, the problem seems to extend all the down to strings themselves.

Has anyone noticed this?

I see that as well Jeff. No question that this is a bug.

I sent in a bug report…

David:

Interesting, this was not a problem on ~Saturday 12/5 so it seems that it was fixed in the online code and then reversed somehow.

I’d guess that code updates are pushed on a pretty regular basis and that this is a bug that got introduced and snuck by SQA. Let’s see when the fix gets pushed!

Jeffrey,

This should now be fixed. Apologies for the delay in acknowledgment and the delay in fixing the issue.

Thank you for reporting this,
Arnoud
