Topic: X Y coordinate reporting issue

There appears to be an issue in the a reporting of X and Y coordinates in 6.18.1.

A few grid refs in our database contain spaces eg 'SD 750 365'.
These are reported in Sample Spatial Ref with no spaces eg 'SD750365'

However, in the Sample * Centre and Sample * SW Corner fields they are reported with 0s in the spaces eg  '307505' and '403655'

This gives some interesting results when plotting in GIS.
