[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-8338) Some RichFaces components strip white space

Some RichFaces components strip white space ------------------------------------------- Key: RF-8338 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8338 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-output Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: RichFaces 3.3.1 libraries w/ JBOSS EAP 4.3 Reporter: Brian Chicos RichFaces seems to be stripping out extra white space in data before sending it to the browser. I see this for data being displayed in both the rich:dataTable and rich:suggestionbox components. If there is data that has multiple spaces next to each other (ex: this data) it will get returned with a single space (ex: this data). This creates a problem especially on the rich:suggestionbox component. If the data being searched on has 2 spaces and the rich:suggestionbox returns the data with one space then the search will fail when the value is selected from the suggestionbox and the user then attempts to run the search. It seems that RichFaces should send back the data from the server without altering it and let the browser decide how to display it.
