Description

When I try to use the "rpad" function to label point features, it doesn't add any padding symbols. The function "lpad" works perfectly fine.

Setup:
Ubuntu 13.10 64bit
QGIS 2.0.1

What does: rpad('1',3,'0') || ' ' || lpad('1', 3, '0') give you?

This is my output in 2.0: 001 100 and in master 100 001

This is my output in 2.0: 001 100 and in master 100 001

I also get 001 100

and when I switch the commands to lpad('1',3,'0') || ' ' || rpad('1', 3, '0')
I get 100 001

Sorry I don't know what "in master" means.

Ok now I feel like an idiot. I had "number formatting" switched on (because I thought it is a number). That is what took away the leading zeros. I switched the number formatting of and now lpad and rpad work. Using lpad('1',3,'0') || ' ' || rpad('1', 3, '0') probably did an override on the number formatting and that why that worked fine.
