Backticks in labels when aesthetics are defined in a geom

[dirkschumacher]

ggplot2 adds backticks around variable labels if those variables contain a space and the aesthetics are defined in the geom and not globally.

No backticks:

library(ggplot2)
data <- tibble::tibble(
  "variable with space" = 1:5
)
ggplot(data) + 
  aes(x = `variable with space`, y = `variable with space`) +
  geom_point()

Backticks:

library(ggplot2)
data <- tibble::tibble(
  "variable with space" = 1:5
)
ggplot(data) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = `variable with space`, y = `variable with space`))

I'm not able to reproduce this with the development version of ggplot2. Is that what you're running as well? If so, could you append your session info?

Thanks

library(ggplot2)
data <- tibble::tibble(
  "variable with space" = 1:5
)
ggplot(data) + 
  aes(x = `variable with space`, y = `variable with space`) +
  geom_point()

library(ggplot2)
data <- tibble::tibble(
  "variable with space" = 1:5
)
ggplot(data) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = `variable with space`, y = `variable with space`))

[dirkschumacher]

@batpigandme I guess then we can close the issue

[batpigandme]

Sounds good!

[yutannihilation]

Yes, this is already fixed in the dev version. Thanks, Mara!
