I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description
Let's assume we put\newacronym[description={Decision Support System}]{dss}{DSS}{decision support system}in the preamble, everything works fine when using
\glspl{dss}
in text, resulting in "decision support systems (DSSs)"
However, when putting the acronym definition within the document body, a .glsdefs file is created with the firstplural key set to
"decision support systems(DSS)".Note the missing space before the bracket.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[xindy, toc, acronym, section, nopostdot]{glossaries} \makeglossaries \newacronym[description={Decision Support System}]{dss}{DSS}{decision support system} \begin{document} \newacronym[description={Decision Support System}]{dss2}{DSS}{decision support system} Works: \glspl{dss} Missing space: \glspl{dss2} \end{document}
Evaluation
Fixed in version 4.08

I think this may be another technical issue. I'll see if I can fix it when I work on the next version of glossaries, but it's a low priority bug as the simple workaround is to move the definition to the preamble.

Another workaround is to use \setacronymstyle{long-short}
:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[xindy, toc, acronym, section, nopostdot]{glossaries} \makeglossaries \setacronymstyle{long-short} \newacronym[description={Decision Support System}]{dss}{DSS}{decision support system} \begin{document} \newacronym[description={Decision Support System}]{dss2}{DSS}{decision support system} Works: \glspl{dss} Missing space: \glspl{dss2} \end{document}The new acronyms styles that are set via
\setacronymstyle
don't use the first
or firstplural
keys.Comments
