--- Comment #2 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
Thanks for filing this bug--I should have done so ages ago. This is enough of a
problem for us that I regularly run a report to catch these records and correct
them. I'm not sure why librarians here are so trigger-happy on the keyboard.

We addressed this issue a long time ago with barcodes. See in returns.pl, line
253: $barcode =~ s/^\s*|\s*$//g; # remove leading/trailing whitespace

Is there any reason not to trim leading and trailing whitespace from all the
data submitted during patron entry?
