iOS Question Center aligning custom labels with significant trailing blanks - non-breaking blanks?

Dim s As String = "  test"
Dim cs As CSBuilder
Label1.AttributedText = cs.Initialize.Color(Colors.Transparent).Append("|").Pop.Append(s)

Private Sub Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
  
    Private cs As CSBuilder
    Private wrk_button As Button
          
    wrk_button.InitializeCustom("", Colors.Red, Colors.Red)
    Page1.RootPanel.AddView(wrk_button, 5%x, 5%y, 90%x, 20%y)
    wrk_button.Color = Colors.Gray
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.AttributedText = cs.Initialize.Color(Colors.Red).Append("        Garbage        ").PopAll
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.Left = 5%x
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.Width = 80%x
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.Color = Colors.Transparent
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.TextAlignment = wrk_button.CustomLabel.ALIGNMENT_CENTER
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.Multiline = False
    wrk_button.CustomLabel.Font = Font.CreateNewBold(5%y)

End Sub
