Inconsistent spaces in C++ function definitions with links

[ZedThree]

Problem

There is some missing whitespace in function definitions that contain links, at least in the cpp domain. Consider the following restructuredtext documenting some C++ type and function:

.. default-domain:: cpp

.. cpp:type:: MyType

   Some type

.. cpp:function:: const MyType Foo(const MyType bar)

   Some function type thing

I get the following:

with spaces missing after MyType.

Expected Results

Something like this:

Note the spaces around MyType link in the definition of Foo.

I did this by changing the following with the Inspect tool in Chrome:

  .rst-content dl:not(.docutils) dt {
-      display: table;
+      display: table-cell;
   ...

which I think comes from here

Note that now there is extra padding to the right of const, but not type, which I couldn't fix just by deleting padding-right: 8px; on .rst-content dl:not(.docutils) .property

I'm experiencing this, too. Is anybody working on a fix?
