different quoting behavior, depending on whitespace #668

I'm running up against this too. It's especially damaging if you're using the quotes to protect embedded commas. Also: something is off with the printing of the problems?
library(readr) read.csv(text = 'x,y\n1,\"hi,there\"\n3,4') #> x y #> 1 1 hi,there #> 2 3 4 read_csv('x,y\n1,\"hi,there\"\n3,4') #> # A tibble: 2 x 2 #> x y #> <int> <chr> #> 1 1 hi,there #> 2 3 4 read.csv(text = 'x,y\n1, \"hi,there\"\n3,4') #> x y #> 1 1 hi,there #> 2 3 4 read_csv('x,y\n1, \"hi,there\"\n3,4') #> Warning in rbind(names(probs), probs_f): number of columns of result is not #> a multiple of vector length (arg 2) #> Warning: 1 parsing failure. #> row # A tibble: 1 x 5 col row col expected actual file expected <int> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> actual 1 1 <NA> 2 columns 3 columns literal data file # A tibble: 1 x 5 #> # A tibble: 2 x 2 #> x y #> <int> <chr> #> 1 1 "\"hi" #> 2 3 4

Sometimes I will write out a small csv by hand - by habit I will put a space after a comma:
When I
read_csv()this, it parses inconsistently.However, if I take out the whitespace, it parses as I expect:

Does this rise to the level of bug? Also, may be similar to #238.
