Reasons unknown Sailfish (Yliaavanlampi) trims leading spaces in messaging app. Leading spaces are used in for example in proprietary SMS communications etc. Need to have another phone around to get around this atm.

eg. 

<space>Hello

Turns into just 

Hello

It makes sense to me to trim as much pre- and post-whitespace as possible, to cut down on the number of characters and (potentially) number of text messages sent.

I'm curious, in what way is leading spaces used?

As I said proprietary comms, but space is also an ascii character so I don't get why an app should restrict me from using it.

Maybe an option to disable autocorrect would work here?
