Gaps between numbers, any way to prevent?

I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!

I thought it was an issue with Go Contacts/Dialler EX but it's happening on EX Dialler too even though I've clicked off the area code setting, so I'm thinking it might be an android issue? Anyone managed to sort it out?

Think I may have found something to do with it from Android Development, but I haven't a clue if that can be changed as a mod for a specific phone?

I only flashed from 2.2 to 4.1 last week and noticed it then. Not something that bothers me to want to get rid of the spaces as I'm liking the look.

Yeah it's not so bad looking, but I've over 2,000 phone numbers all the same format so want to keep it that way and this is just extra work every time I save a new contact
