           Summary: Path.GetFullPath trims white spaces before files and
                    directories names on Windows
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: CORLIB
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: salo3 at atlas.cz

Description of Problem:

In this example Path.GetFullPath(" test.txt") returns "C:\test.txt" instead of
"C:\ test.txt" (on Windows):

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string file = " test.txt";

            FileStream fs = File.Create(file);
            fs.Close();

            bool ret = File.Exists(Path.GetFullPath(file));
            Console.WriteLine(ret);
        }
    }
}


Actual Results:

example program returns false

Expected Results:

example program should return true just like in .NET

How often does this happen? 
100%

Additional Information:

I assume that the problem is in function Path.CanonicalizePath - Path.cs lines
668 - 670:
       // WIN32 path components must be trimmed
       if (Environment.IsRunningOnWindows)
              dirs[i] = dirs[i].Trim ();

and that only TrimEnd should be used.
