It is possible that this issue is caused by an installed extension. Can you try to run VS Code without extensions? From the command line, execute: code --disable-extensions and try your steps again to see if it reproduces. If you see it is an issue with the extension, please file it against the extension repository itself.

What version of node are you using? (I don't mean the node 5.10 that VS Code uses internally)

[pke]

$ node -v
v6.2.1

I'll try without extensions later.

I can reproduce the issue with node 6.2.1.

(For reproducing your problem I was using a VM with Windows 8.1 that had node 4.1.1 installed. With that version I couldn't reproduce the problem. But with 6.2.1 I can. I tried a few other versions but it seems that the first version with the spurious space is 4.2.6)

@pke there is no need to try without extensions.

The problem is a node problem and independent from VS Code.
If node is started with --debug a space appears on the following line:
