A Gaussian function used for localization is nonzero at every finite separation, so multiplying a wave function by it normally suppresses distant components without making them vanish. The interpretive question is how these residual, potentially structured components relate to definite macroscopic records. Exact compact localization and overwhelmingly concentrated matter are different claims.
