Description
The kibana table display includes strings in the <td> elements from messages that are merely escaped but spaces are untouched. In HTML, two consecutive spaces are interpreted as a single space. This is bad because I am trying to display sets of log lines that are to be viewed together and they are formatted in a grid. In this text grid, multiple spaces are inserted for alignment purposes, and I need to have them preserved in the Web interface.
I came up with this small change to replace each space with , and it seems to fix the issue for me.
(I also changed the css to display the table in Monospace font, but that's another issue.)
