ITEM.LASTVALUE and 1.8.5

[billjam]

Did the output of {ITEM.LASTVALUE} change with 1.8.5?
I use it to output the last value of a Character item.
It use to print fine with 1.8.2 but not we get output more like this:

 19 : maill ...


(use to look like "Reporting 19 : maillog_reader_deferred : Last occurance: May 17 22:28:20 media7 sendmail etc.")

How do I get it to output the whole string and spaces instead of " "?

where exactly do you see that output ? is it looking as expected in item history view ?

[billjam]

trigger status page

tr_status.php

On latest data page it looks fine, but that's not using {ITEM.LASTVALUE}.
Our trigger is using it:

Name: maillog deferred message: {ITEM.LASTVALUE}

Item is type Character.

if you see those nbsp's, might be a good idea to report in in the issue tracker

unfortunately no response on that.
Anyone know a work around for getting some equivalent to ITEM.LASTVALUE for a charater field in 1.8.5?
