Perplexing double spaces in collapsed citation
I have a style with citations collapsed by year, such that they should look like this:
(Rehfeldt and others 2015; Worrall and others 2010, 2013)
However, in my Word document, they are rendered with 2 spaces following the comma between the collapsed years. What is really weird is, when I copy the citation from Zotero and paste it into a blank Word document, there is only one space. When I just now pasted it into this forum, there were two spaces.
The citation code looks like this:
Any thoughts?

The citation code looks like this:
<citation et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" name-as-sort-order="all" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" collapse="year">
<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key macro="year-date" sort="ascending"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group>
<text macro="author-short"/>
<choose>
<if type="bill legislation" match="none">
<text macro="year-date-cite"/>
</if>
</choose>
<group>
<label variable="locator" form="short" strip-periods="false"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
</group>
</layout>
</citation>
Any thoughts?
<macro name="year-date-cite">
<choose>
<if variable="issued">
<date variable="issued" prefix=" ">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</if>
<else>
<text term="no date" form="short" prefix=","/>
</else>
</choose>
</macro>
If I delete the space in the prefix in
<date variable="issued" prefix=" ">
, all references lose the space between name and year (at least in Zotero's Style Editor preview).<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="author-short"/>
<choose>
<if type="bill legislation" match="none">
<text macro="year-date-cite"/>
</if>
</choose>
</group>
I wonder if a key clue may be the perplexing part: the double spaces do no occur in the Zotero Style Editor preview, nor when copying the citations from Zotero with Command-Shift-A and pasting it into Word, but only when using the Word plugin in Word. I confirmed that the plugin is set to the same style as I am editing in Zotero.
Thank you so much!
