Stop inserting space after question titles

+7
−0

This is kind of minor so I haven't bothered reporting it before, but it's been there since day 1: the site is inserting a space character after every question title. Example (from here):

Newsletter #8 (August 2021) <-- space here

This is annoying since it sometimes screws up link markdown formatting when copy/pasting the title. Kindly remove whatever is causing this extra space character.

I'm getting the behavior that OP is describing, running Firefox 78.14.0esr. Simply triple-clicking the question title on the question page is sufficient to demonstrate this for me; a copy and paste into a plain text editor further confirms it. A quick look at the actual HTML source code of the page also reveals massive amounts of whitespace around the question title, both in the <title> element within <head>, and within the <h1 class="post-title ..."><span class="post--title-text"> within the document body. Since HTML is non-whitespace-sensitive, multiple whitespace would typically be compressed into a single whitespace character, but that single whitespace character is significant as a word separator.
