in reply to Spaces in " Code Prefix" ?

The only thing I can see in the code that would be causing the behavior you're noting is s/  /  /g, which I added so that if you had a prefix of (say) "Foo:", and the line starts with a space, you don't get a double-space at the beginning of the line, which would be quashed down to a single space.

However, I don't see where that'd be causing the problem you're seeing -- it should only hit on double-space, whereas you've got a single space.

    No, the code you added was this: 

       # Prevent trailing spaces from quashing initial spaces in code:
   $prefix =~ s/ / /g;

    Update:: Thanks for the new patch. It has been applied. The problem should be fixed now.
