Strange Space

I have a modal that I use as an update form. There’s space that keeps popping inside a dmx-bind:value. The preceding inputs have identical structure, however, the last input, if blank should show only the placeholder info. In this case, the input displays a blank input and not the placeholder’s data. All this is caused by a space that is mysteriously placed in the input.

In the attached image you will see the input above is blank and works perfectly. However the last input is the culprit that somehow decided to put a space inside.

Any ideas?

Below is a screen shot of the evidence:
