In R 3.0.2, I found this weird behavior:

There's one space missing between the bracket and the 100 in the first
case. I don't know if this is a known bug or not. It might have
something to do with precision of floating point numbers:
options(digits=22)
7/0.07
[1] 99.99999999999998578915
Maybe R doesn't add the extra space when it rounds the number for
display? This is probably an irrelevant issue, but I thought I would
report it just in case.

Sees to be the same as the recent bug report PR#15583, which is under
investigation.
R always used to round before computing the width, but someone
'optimized' it recently: 3.0.1 did not do this.
