I am not sure whether anyone has previously noticed this.

I have attached a test file with five paragraphs of text that shows the problem I am currently having with a translation.

The first paragraph is "Text:".

The second paragraph is "Text: " (i.e. space after the colon).

The third paragraph is "Text: More text".

The fourth paragraph is "Text".

The fifth paragraph is "Text " (i.e. trailing space).

Studio creates the source segment "Text:" for paragraphs 1 and 2. (The trailing space does not show up in the editor unless you filter on "All content".)

Studio splits the third paragraph into two segments, "Text:" and "More text".

A regex search for ":$" only finds the first segment. It does not find the other two "Text:" segments that are showing in the editor.

A regex search for ": $" finds the second segment, even though the trailing space does not show up in the editor unless you filter on "All content". It does not find the other two "Text:" segments that are showing in the editor.

Neither ":$" nor ": $" finds the third "Text:" segment. As far as I can tell, there is no way to find the third "Text:" segment.

I am not sure whether this problem is specific to the colon character only, as a regex search for "Text$" finds both of the last two segments and a regex search for "Text $" fails, even though there is a trailing space in the last paragraph (which shows up if you filter on "All content").

Now that I know about the problem, it is just a nuisance. I can search for ":" until I find a segment that ends with a colon.

I am bringing it up in the forum because it is not clear why this is happening, and it might indicate a bigger problem somewhere in the code.
