[Bug 943873] [NEW] gnome-terminal ellipses inconsistency

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I have noticed that the Terminal in Ubuntu is kind of inconsistent when
it comes to printing out the ellipses. Let me give you two examples:

(1) Reading package lists... Done
(2) Processing triggers for man-db ...


I expect for the second example to be printed out as this:

(2) Processing triggers for man-db...


Why put a space before the ellipsis? There are many cases where this inconsistency is obvious if you install a package. It would be nice to see all the ellipses stick to the last word, not separated away from it by a space. Is this fixable?
