---------------------------------------

             Summary: Space after log level hides log messages
                 Key: LOGCXX-488
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-488
             Project: Log4cxx
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebastian Geiger


*Problem:*

Consider the following line in the log4j.properties file:

{code}
    log4j.logger.MyClass=TRACE_
{code}

Where the underscore represents a trailing space before the line ends. This causes TRACE message for `MyClass` to be silently omitted from the log but no warning is printed. Removing the trailing space restores output of the TRACE message for the respective class.

*Suggested Fix:*
Either implicitly trim the line when parsing the property file and ignore the space, or print a warning during start.
