This is by design. We retain leading spaces by converting them to HTML non-breaking spaces. But if we did that for *all* spaces in descriptions and comments, that would make pages scroll horizontally in mobile browsers and other narrow windows, making Launchpad less usable overall.

Perhaps we need to switch back to showing bug descriptions and comments in a proportional font, like Trac does, to make it clearer that patches etc should be attached instead of being typed as comments.
