Hi Alan,

I think you just hit a bug.  I can reproduce what you describe.  I've
contacted the author of Bookmark+, Drew Adams, and we'll try to find a
fix soon.  Thank you for finding this.

Please don't hesitate to report bugs you find directly to Drew Adams
<drew.adams@oracle.com>, even if you are not 100% sure.

BTW: you can still insert spaces with C-q SPC (C-q is `quoted-insert')
in the minibuffer.


Michael.
