Summary0002816: Invisible characters in wing names leave an extra space
DescriptionSometimes it is necessary to have more than one wing with the same name, e.g. Gold and Gold@ wings. Although the special character does not display, it does leave a space between the wing name and ship number, e.g. Gold 1 instead of Gold 1. It would be ideal if this extra space could be suppressed.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a wing name with a special character at the end. Start a mission and notice the extra space.

You aren't supposed to be making use of "invisible characters" in situations such as these anymore. What you want to be using is the # sign followed by anything. For instance Yellow#wing2.

Admiral Nelson and I have discussed this over IM. I mentioned the # solution, but then noted that you'd end up with Yellow#wing2 1 etc., which means that every single ship would display as simply Yellow. So that'll be what I'll fix to resolve this ticket.

Was this fixed by commit r10180?

Indeed it was. I neglected to resolve the ticket. Doing so now. :)
