<p><span>A non-breaking space is ASCII code 255, copied here between the quotation marks " ". It looks like a regular space but it doesn't break the symbol, hence it can be used in a GUI object's label. In my experience it works well across platforms. You can
also generate it by feeding 160 into [list tosymbol].</span></p>

<p><span>Leaving labels with spaces out of cross-platform patches is fine, so long as you know what you're doing. But I can imagine a user not knowing this and then getting into trouble with the error message. If it's not changed, perhaps the incompatibility

<p>Forgot to ask, what do you mean by non-breaking space?</p>

<p>Hey guys</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In Vanilla, spaces are rudely replaced with underscores inside the labels for canvas and other GUI objects. It looks like you've figured out a more elegant solution with L2Ork, where the spaces get a backslash in the .pd file and hence are allowed to pass
into the patch.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is great, but it's creating a small conflict with other distributions, as you get a Tcl error if you try to draw the properties menu for the given object in Vanilla. I'm attaching a small patch for demonstration. Under certain circumstances, the conflict
also seems to prevent other of the object's properties from loading. I discovered the problem like this, although I have been unable to reproduce it since then, so I don't know what the conditions are.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I will offer that the non breaking space could be used to solve this problem. It simulates a space inside a label and works in Vanilla patches without any problem.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For reference, I'm on L2Ork 20160530 and Vanilla 0.47.</p>
