"Rewrite the output of this field" and "Output this field as a link" adds line feeds

I found this happening to me too with the stable 6.x-2.6. It seems to be because when Views processes each field, it adds a linebreak to some of the empty fields. This means that when the URL is formed, those line breaks come with it. Views would need to be patched to not insert linebreaks in empty fields.

Hi,
I am relatively new to drupal and have stumbled upon the same problem.. did u find a work around to make views use hyphens instead of such characters as URL in "Output this field as a link".... plz share it coz this is very important for my site... i just can't figure it out...
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. Rewriting a node-title output as link and using [update_fid] as replacement pattern result in a "sites/all/default/filename.ext%0A" which break the link. on both 6.x-2.6 and 6.x-2.7. I managed to avoid this by changing approch: I rewrited the output of my "Upload:attached files" field using [title] as replacement pattern. on 6.x-2.7

I had a view working in 2.6 (from memory) which has broken in 2.7 - as with the others, I am getting a file path with %0A%20%20 before and %0A%0A after.

this was the wrong issue, sorry.

I'm facing the same issue using 6.x-2.11, so I am changing the version number

The "Output This Field as a Link" is not working as described above.
The "Rewrite the output of this field" is working properly.

What do you put into the fields? It would be cool if someone could export a view.

deriene, export the view: great idea. thanks for the nudge, this is the first time I've ever exported a view, or looked at the raw code of it, it's a great learning experience.

I was attempting to link the 'user name' and 'user picture' fields with the 'node: title' field instead of linking to the user. The node-type was a gallery that the user created, I wanted people to click on either the user name or user picture and be sent to the picture gallery that they created.

When I check 'Output this field as a link' and input the token '[title]' or 'gallery/[title]' (to get the correct path) the link reads be "gallery/user name" instead of "gallery/user-name"

BeWhy,
did you ever find a solution for this?
i tried importing your view but i'm missing something. can you provide simple replication instructions (preferably using stuff using basic fields)
