[Bug 943873] Re: gnome-terminal ellipses inconsistency

[John Napster]

I would rather see apt following dpkg in this regard. It looks better
with a space before the ellipsis as I have looked more closely now (not
when writing text like this though). I just want this things to be
consistent, otherwise it bothers me...

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

Title:
  gnome-terminal ellipses inconsistency

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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?
