extra space when author supressed

kategooding
Hi all
I'm using the Uni of Leeds Harvard style. When I tick author suppressed, I get an extra space between the ( and the date, eg ( 2007). Can anyone help with this? I couldn't see where/how to edit this.
Thanks

    The style is now fixed. The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by clicking "Update Now" in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.

    Styles also update automatically within 24hs for Zotero 4.0+
    In an existing document, you may have to switch to a different style and back for the changes to take effect once the style is updated.
    Any further problems please let us know & thanks for reporting

    That was amazingly fast - thanks very much! Really appreciate it.

    I made some changes to the style a few months ago to sort out a few other glitches (version I'm using at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/92b1dde08f032ecb2e64). I should be able to make those changes to the new version - but it would be great if you could highlight what you did to get rid of the extra space so I make sure I don't mess that up?( The changes I made were discussed at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/38393/university-of-leeds-harvard-edits/).

    Also, if you have any advice on my query about presentations at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/38858/university-of-leeds-harvard-presentation-format/, that would be fabulous. (I'm currently partially getting round this by listing them as reports & putting the info on meeting name etc in the institution field - there must be a better way.)

    Thanks again and sorry to disturb you for further help!

    sure, you can just look at the diff here, should be pretty clear:
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/9004d2f7068eaf7fa8ab3bb442a7bcf9e43127f4

    (only the first change is actually necessary for your particular issue, the second one is mainly for cosmetics and for rarer cases).

    I'll take a look at the second issue. I'm not a big fan of the existence of all those UK University XYZ Harvard styles (they should just agree on a couple of style manuals instead), so I try to spend as little time as possible on those, tbh.

    Great - thanks, I think I've managed to get rid of the space in my version.

    Totally agree with you on varying university styles...unfortunately I don't make their rules, just have to follow them :S

    Thanks again for your help.
