[TW-250] Opening parenthesis in description gets padded in task 2.0.0 bet 2

I tend to use parentheses/brackets occasionally in task descriptions. I noticed that when I add them, the opening bracket gets padded with an extra space after it. See trace - I input @(brackets)@ and got back @( brackets)@. This doesn't happen in 1.9.4.

F:\Dropbox\TextFiles>task200beta2\bin\task add Testing with (brackets) here
Created task 90.

Wow, looks like you found a Redmine markup bug too. You can't stop, can you?

No workaround yet.

It's ugly, but this is a fundamental parser issue that means this will likely be deferred.m

Deferring.

This is a consequence of moving towards being able to perform math, such as "due:today + 3". Now it should be possible to have the parser decide it is not math, and revert to other interpretations, but that isn't possible yet. There are several parser-related issues that cannot be addressed yet.

Recategorized to 'parser'.

Parsing issues will be addressed after the task server support release.
