Missing white-space between issue icon and label in global comment (GitLab)

[p3k]

Describe the enhancement

The current output of the global comment in GitLab is missing some white-space between the number of bugs, vulnerabilities etc. and the label:

Here is the corresponding HTML code from dev tools:

The red arrow points to actual white-space in the DOM but this is obviously not rendered.

In the plugin code I found additions of new Text(" ") instances at the correct positions, but it seems these are not rendered either…(?)

Expected behavior

What could be done to add the missing white-space to achieve something like this – IMHO better looking and readable – display:

I had the same issue, so I modified that.

@Override
    public Formatter<Text> textFormatter() {
        return new BaseFormatter<Text>() {
            @Override
            public String format(Text node, FormatterFactory formatterFactory) {
                if (StringUtils.isBlank(node.getContent())) {
                    return " ";
                }
                return htmlEscaper().escape(node.getContent()).trim();
            }
        };

new TEXT(" ") is used, whitespace is always trim()
