I have suggestion that repository branch selection should trim whitespace. I happens now and then someone copies branch name with spaces before or after and thinks that Continua did not refresh the repository, but it’s just a simple string comparison which fails: ![obraz](https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fc99d8bd49a8483045964d4fc5e032ab0af6b35f.png) ---

Yes, this could possibly be classed as a bug. Will be fixed for next release. ---
