I am seeing what I think is the same problem.  It seems that I
always get one extra space, no matter how I configure "Status Separator".
When set to none, the last configured status cell field (in my case
a "Screen Number" is replaced with a space.  If I configure
"Space" as status separator, I suddenly see the last configured
status cell item, and the space is also added.
But I cant seem to get adjacent configuration to work, i.e. status
cells on the left, without a status separator.  There seems to be
an implicit space somewhere if status cells are on the left side.
Same happens when I configure status cells on the right side.
WHen I move the cursor to the newly added space, it vanishes but the
display does not scroll.  So brltty thinks the cell is still a text cell,
but somehow manages to override its content with a braille space.
