Template language overrides not working as expected - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

if not correct location post, please accept apologies , move more appropriate location.

i not sure if bug or if there other explanation.
working in j2.5.6 php5.4.3 apache 2.4.2

i used language overrides in admin panel change:

code: select all

mod_footer_line1="copyright © %date% %sitename%. rights reserved."

to

code: select all

mod_footer_line1="%sitename% © %date%"

when rendering page, %sitename% not changed site name. however, if add space before %sitename% renders expected.

to line display expected used in override.

code: select all

mod_footer_line1=" %sitename% © %date%"

this same problem exhibited other variables. also, if use same variable twice in string "%" being first character, replacement text not used other instances of variable.

example:

code: select all

mod_footer_line1="%date% %sitename% © %date%"

returns
%date% site name © %date%

while

code: select all

mod_footer_line1=" %date% %sitename% © %date%"

returns
2012 site name © 2012

working in j2.5.6

update 2.5.8 , test standard template.
