st: Insertion of spaces before variable names when selecting variables |

Dear Statalisters
When one clicks on a variable name from the variable window, Stata inserts
a space before the variable name. So, if one is selecting variables, like
var1, to insert after the i.
xi: reg y i. var1
the message
varlist required
r(100);
appears
This can be rectified by manually deleting the inserted space.
I can see a reason why Stata inserts a space before the variable name
because it allows one to build up a list as in
summ var1 var2 var3
Would it not satisfy both uses of selecting variables from the variables
window by having Stata insert a space _after_ the variable name.
Any workarounds would be appreciated.
Best wishes, Garry
