Thank you for the link @southpaw

I can definitely reproduce the issue. It’s caused by white-space characters not being removed.

I’ve made a small change in your theme to address the issue until the theme is updated and submitted a PR for @Freso to look at

Now that this is fixed, you can remove line #19 entirely from your theme if you want oneboxes to have abbreviations as well.
