Simple text field - no equations, etc.

When I create a new item and add text to this field (by selecting field & start typing), there is always a space added at the beginning

(If I go into edit mode in field this does not happen)

 

If I then edit this field - delete it's content & add new content - there is no space added (no matter how I add text)

 

 

I've tried creating new fields with the same settings (which = no settings - basic text field) and I cannot reproduce the problem

I filter on this field and items were disappearing from the grid as I was filtering for exact content ( Field="xyz" )

 

Pierre if you still have the empty file I sent you on March 17 I can tell you which field
