Unrecognized manifest key 'short_name '

Reported by ehalshar...@gmail.com, Mar 18 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create Chrome Extension and add 'short_name' key and value in manifest.json 
2. Install the extension by loading an unpacked extension  in the extensions tab
3. Warning will be displayed: Unrecognized manifest key 'short_name '

What is the expected behavior?
short_name just like name is in the official google chrome extensions developer website (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/name#short_name), and because of that no warning should be produced

What went wrong?
The following message was shown to me:
There were warnings when trying to install this extension:
Unrecognized manifest key 'short_name '.

WebStore page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-urls-decoder/fccpjkafgoedeodcfoiibmanhjdhhdod

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.186  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 29.0.0.113

I'm the developer of this extension but i couldn't find an appropriate option when choosing developer's side in the previous screen so i have chosen the end-user extensions option.

There's an extra space in your 'short_name ' which makes it an invalid key.
Simply remove the space.
Indeed that was the problem, and that explains why i had that same property working for me in the past, seems that the space got there by mistake

Thank you

As per comment#2 from the reporter the issue got resolved by removing the extra space, hence closing it and marking it as won't fix.

Thanks!
