Gazza,
I reported a while ago in http://helpdesk.ebid.net/showthread.php?t=92332 that "." was getting blanks added after it in titles. Has 4.0 been implemented (see quote below), as all of ".", "/" and "-" now get blanks added?
I think the blank after "-" is actually post-redesign, and makes even normal English hyphenation impossible, so "Office-compatible" becomes "Office- compatible", and "Cat-A-Pult" becomes "Cat- A- Pult", which looks awful.
Please can you fix this properly soon?........hollandnumerics
