Each time I invoke the org-entry-put, I will get an extra space before the value, like this: <----before :prop: 1 <----after (org-entry-put pom prop 2) :prop: 2 <----and after invoking servel times: :prop: 3 ---------------- It's harmless to org-property API, but somewhat annoying.
I think, this is introduced by commit 92b603c8920623d9c581e2c58809ad2c73fcd475. It changed the regex from (concat "^[ \t]*:" property ":\\(.*\\)") (cdr range) t) to (concat "^[ \t]*:" (regexp-quote property) ":[ \t]*\\(\\S-.*\\)")) Thus, the following (goto-char (match-beginning 1)) will be after instead of before the spaces. And the (and value (insert " " value)) will add the extra space.
