initialize-with=". " is not working

ch_diss

Hey there

I'm having trouble adding the . after Initials of the given name. With the code below it is ignoring to add the ". ". While if swapped to other signs, its working without any trouble.

<macro name="author">
<names variable="author">
<name and="text" name-as-sort-order="all" sort-separator=", " delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always" initialize-with=". "/>
<label form="short" text-case="lowercase" strip-periods="true"/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<names variable="translator"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>

Results in:

1.
Mayadas, T N, Cullere, X, and Lowell, C A. (2014). The Multifaceted Functions of Neutrophils. Annu Rev Pathol, 9, 181–218.

Other signs I tried are working without any problems, for example:

initialize-with="? "
1.
Mayadas, T? N?, Cullere, X?, and Lowell, C? A? (2014). The Multifaceted Functions of Neutrophils. Annu Rev Pathol, 9, 181–218

Can someone help finding the mistake?

Which Zotero version exactly? And does this also happen with one of the official styles that uses initialize-with, e.g. IEEE? If it _doesn't_, we'd want to see the whole style (post to pastebin.com or a similar code-sharing site and share the link here).

If it _does_ happen with IEEE, does it happen with all items or just that particular one.
