The problem is that we want the display to indicate that the current field is an exact match. Currently this is visible thanks to the "{| ...}". So if we want to let the empty string move elsewhere (and hence potentially off-screen), we need another way to indicate that we have an exact match. > Is removal of leading space really necessary? No, it just makes a lot of sense in the current situation. Note that if we let the empty string appear elsewhere, we may also want to use "a | | b" instead of "a | | b", tho it's clearly less important. Stefan
