@illuminae have you reported this via Help->Suggest Feature?

and when i try to call that layer with “floor” it wond react because “floor” and "floor " is different

Perhaps we should just trim whitespace from the ends of ids? Not sure when you’d ever want to have whitespace around these.

But - that already exists? Both tab and space have a character showing (albeit not very strongly).
