| | That's because you did it wrong! :P You shouldn't be adding a space to the display but to the title. Otherwise you're just asking for trouble. |

| If you add a space in the display, then you have to go edit every single place where you print the title - and everybody who subsequently uses your codebase has to be aware of this "quirk".
On the other hand, if the title itself contains the space, then life is good and the birds are singing - you no longer have to change anything whatsoever.
Basically to change the display is a mistake in program design, simply in that the space should be proper to the title and not the display. By fixing the display, you are fixing the symptom but not the disease, and this is rather self-obviously not the right way to go about doing things. :) |
