    Description

      If I by accident (while copying) leave spaces at the beginning/end of short question – they are not trimmed (as was earlier). This can cause hardly noticable problems

      Even if I would like to have leading spaces sometimes, I can't submit them while responding (they are trimmed there) – so no use to save them in questions answers.

      This also affects issue with giving backslash as shortanswer in CLOZE as described here https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=275299#p1186876
