[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T179130: chomp leading spaces and tabs from lookahead function in wikidata field entry

[Billinghurst]

Billinghurst created this task. Billinghurst added a project: Wikidata. Herald added a subscriber: Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

With wikidata, following the recent update, when text is pasted with leading spaces or a tab, the lookahead function used to be able to ignore the leading characters and focus on the text for its search. The chomp function has disappeared.

a simple example "

female given name
" is a text copy from the description field and it used to be able to be pasted into "instance of", and remove the superfluous spaces in its lookup. Ability lost.
