Random sized space at end of nameplate

Hey everyone,

I'm having a problem with Scoreboards Teams. As you can see in this image:


there is a huge space at the end of a player's nameplate. This space appears whether or not I apply a suffix or prefix to players. However, if I don't assign the player a suffix or prefix, the space isn't there. Here is the code I use to set teams:

Code:java

 final Team team = this.instance.getScoreboard().registerNewTeam(e.getPlayer().getName());
team.setPrefix(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', user.getPrefix()));
team.setSuffix((ChatColor.RESET+" -"+ChatColor.YELLOW+" Level "+player.getExpLevel()).trim());
team.addPlayer(e.getPlayer());

Does anyone know why this is happening?

EDIT: I tried it without color codes, and the space is gone. Does anyone know why color codes would cause that space?

 

Why does your text look like that?

I assume you mean the font? I have a texture pack on in that picture. It is there without the texture pack.

 

Ah, alright. Maybe it's just a bug in nameplates...what happens if you put a reset code on the end of it?

I tried that. Another developer and I have developed a theory that Minecraft makes the nameplate box the size of the text before removing the color codes, and thus a huge space is created at the end. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

 

try it out. Add even more color codes and see if it gets bigger

That's how we stumbled on that theory. I was just hoping it was false.

EDIT: I just sifted through a bit of MCP for 1.5.2 and regrettably confirmed my theory. Thanks for the help everyone.

Never mind, I'm no longer entirely sure what's happening at all. The size of the space randomly changed a little while ago, and I experimented more with color codes and realized they actually don't change it. I'm really confused with this one...

Could it be another plugin? We don't have any plugins that modify Teams but we do have plugins like ProtocolLib and ControllableMobs that I use for other things.

Would you mind giving a plugin list?

 

Garris0n
Sure.

MODCore is my plugin.

 

You should see if the space is there when only your plugin is on the server.

 

Garris0n

Yeah, I tested it with no plugins and it will still there.

Anymore ideas?

 

Is that the only team code in your plugin?

 

Garris0n

Besides this when they quit:

Code:java

this.instance.getScoreboard().getTeam(e.getPlayer().getName()).unregister();

Yes.

 

I'm basically just making stuff up at this point, but what happens if you remove all the text and just add random color codes?

 

With only color codes, the space is, unfortunately, there:
