      This is a ‘find all in current document’ search for an asterisk. Can anyone tell me why the search result for line 9 displays only a single space after the asterisk instead a full tab space like all the other lines? As can be seen in the screenshot, that line in the document has a tab space.

      I’ve done some investigating and the only time it happens is when:

      1. The line starts with an asterisk. If the asterisk is removed, the tab space will be displayed.
      2. The line is located anywhere above the last line that starts with the word A (even if those lines don’t start with A). If it’s moved to any line below line 10, the tab space will be displayed.
