Bug: Mobile app allows last.fm username with spaces in it

Bug: Mobile app allows last.fm username with spaces in it

After investigating why I constantly got "incorrect username/password" errors for last.fm, it turns out it's because the keyboard I use (swiftkey) inserts a space after the username, so my username is sent to last.fm like "username[SPACE]" instead of "username". Seems to me like there should be some input cleaning here, because you'd never want a space to be passed on to last.fm from the username field.

You've got to be kidding me! This has been my issue as well and I just turned off SwiftyKey and used my normal Android keyboard which of course now it works. Wow...all over a space.

You can actually get it without a space with swiftkey as well, it's just a bit tricky. Also, I'd appreciate some feedback from Spotify if this bug is recognized or not.
