Nice try, Chris, but I suspect the problem is more serious than this.
set x to "brick house" as Unicode text
set y to "brickhouse" as Unicode text
ignoring white space
return x = y --> false!
end ignoring
I reported this bug a few days ago, with no response. It seems like it might
be related. There seems to be a problem with the AppleScript Unicode
implementation when it comes to white space.
