For 4.3 we are now, in the normal case, putting space between values and units in spinners. e.g. now "10 mm" instead of "10mm". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-0)
For the degree symbol we are not putting space between value and unit, i.e. it remains "10°" I think those are hopefully uncontroversial. The tricky case is the % symbol, because, while ISO-31-0 implies that "10 %" is the preferred scientific format, English style guides prefer "10%" and "10 %" looks "just plain wrong". It's a locale-dependent formatting rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign) So to resolve this we now have a function formatPercent which takes the number and the locale and runs it through icu's PercentInstance to format it according to that locale's formatting rule. Which gives e.g. "10 %" for de and "10%" for en. (http://site.icu-project.org/) What this means is that: a) In the English strings in .src files the source text should not have a space between number and %. I think these are all fixed now. b) You should check that the icu percent formatting rule is considered correct for your language in the context of a office suite UI e.g. in the spinner of view->zoom->zoom->variable c) If you agree with icu's % formatting for your language then update the translations for X% to be consistent with that formatting. Otherwise we can fix icu or make a blacklist of languages which should be excluded from the default icu percent formatting.
