Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
$ echo '123000 123123 -123123123' | numfmt --suffix Q --field - --to si
123KQ 124KQ -124MQ
$ echo ' 123000 123123 -123123123' | numfmt --suffix Q --field - --to si
123KQ 124KQ -124MQ
$ echo ' 123000 123123 -123123123' | numfmt --suffix Q --field - --to si
123KQ 124KQ -124MQ
In order, the width of the first two fields should be
6 6
7 6
7 7
but numfmt formats as-if they were
5 6
7 6
7 7
Best,
