Bib Module: \cite can kill spaces

Bib Module: \cite can kill spaces

Hi,

I don't know how exactly it happens, but in the attached example the last
footnote is missing a space before the inserted \cite. In my real document
that happens a lot and kills the layout. Anything I can do to fix that?

Best Regards,
Andreas.

Ugly workaround:

\def\prefix{Vgl. \strut} % or \null

But I have no idea what's happening here, maybe Hans or 
Taco can come up with a real solution. 
\cite[alternative=data] seems to eat any horizontal space 
before it; I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

It probably does an \unskip to get rid of bad vertical space in
the publication list. Use the workaround Thomas offered, as it
is not safe to change that.

Best wishes,
Taco

I always learn something new here. And by the way: you guys are really
damn fast :-)

Thank you very much! (once again :-))

Best Regards,
Andreas.
