Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas

print("pandas.__version__ == {:s}".format(pandas.__version__))

columns = ['name', 'age']
values = [
    ['name_one', '31'],
    ['name_two', '32']]
data_frame = pandas.DataFrame(values, columns=columns)

# filter

filtered = data_frame[(data_frame['name'] == 'name_one') & (data_frame['age'] == '31')]
# single value comes with a blank at the beginning when running 0.24.0

print("==={:s}===".format(filtered.name.to_string(index=False)))

Problem description

This was already reported by me on #24980 and supposedly fixed by PR #36094 but I keep getting the same result with pandas 1.1.3.

Using the sample code above the output is === name_one===

I might be missing something but I can't see what.

Expected Output

Using the sampe code provided I expect it to return ===name_one===

Output of pd.show_versions()

This looks fixed on master and when I check the PR, the milestone was set to 1.2. So the fix is not yet added in 1.1.3.

pandas.__version__ == 1.2.0.dev0+660.g350d8cbaa
===name_one===

Seeing the same thing, closing as fixed
