Hi Max,

This is actually a feature.  People coming from LaTeX or ASCII often have
the (nasty) habit of typing spaces around all kinds of binary operators and relations.
Remind that spaces are meaningful inside TeXmacs (they stand for function application),
so it is actually wrong to enter superfluous spaces.  For this reason, the default
behaviour is to ignore superfluous spaces.  You can enter explicit spaces as variants
of the default space.

Best wishes, --Joris

To check just type [=] and then [space] [tab] to insert <space> and write some more. Wider spaces work, e.g. [space] [tab] [tab] [tab] for example. <space> before "=" also works. So I guess this is a bug?
