Thanks for checking this.
I tested it again on my side, and you’re right — the core WordPress login
screen now trims the username automatically. Earlier, I was experiencing
failed logins when accidental spaces were added, but it seems this
behavior has been resolved in the current version.
It’s possible the issue was coming from a custom login form, plugin, or
cached version of the login page on my setup.
Thank you for verifying and for the quick response.
