Inconsistent handling of space before any color tag, even a [] tag with bitmapfonts.

Versions affected: master:1.6.6-SNAPSHOT and goes back to 1.5.0 (haven’t tested 1.4.x) I’m using color tags to emphasize keywords and f.draw handles spaces before tags poorly even in a single line string. I don’t know if spaces are skipped or if it’s a glyphrun bug.

I haven’t tried it with fixed width fonts.

        f.draw(batch, "...blah blah[RED] BINGO[] blah blah... ",300,300);
        f.draw(batch, "...blah blah [RED]BINGO []blah blah... ",300,270);

Adding 1 extra space seems to work but it’s not elegant.

        f.draw(batch, "...blah blah  [RED]BINGO  []blah blah... ",300,240);

Edit: Provided test code & assets in my last comment. Please review.

Works correctly with latest.

Ok, sorry for the long delay, here’s a minimal project:

MyGdxTest.java:

package com.mygdx.tests;

import com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationAdapter;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL20;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.BitmapFont;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch;

public class MyGdxTest extends ApplicationAdapter {
    SpriteBatch batch;
    Texture img;
    BitmapFont f;

    @Override
    public void create () {
        batch = new SpriteBatch();
        img = new Texture("badlogic.jpg");
        f = new BitmapFont(Gdx.files.internal("opti-30-b.fnt"), false);
        f.getData().markupEnabled = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void render () {
        Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1);
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        batch.begin();
        batch.draw(img, 0, 0);

        f.draw(batch, "...blah blah[RED] BINGO[] blah blah... ",300,300);
        f.draw(batch, "...blah blah [RED]BINGO []blah blah... ",300,270);

        batch.end();
    }
}

Let me know if this needs more work.
