Hello John Scott,
I just tried to reproduce the issue.
As far as I see this issue is known upstream as issue [openalpr#692].
That one got closed with following hint:
Fixed by change in tesseract tesseract-ocr/tesseract#1669
In [tesseract#1665]/[tesseract#1669] a fix got commited for tesseract 4.
As far as I see would be that fix included in
tesseract 4.00~git2844-607e8fd8-2, currently waiting to enter testing.
Kind regards,
Bernhard
