Strings with 99% match instead of 100% because Trados adds word spacing and removes word spacing in the same position

Hello,

I'm trying Trados and mostly a great experience. I have a Translation Memory created, however, I have this issue in one PO file I'm trying to translate

When autocompleting from the TM it seems that Trados recognizes the word spacing between some words in a weird way. So what it does is like saying "hey, this space shouldn't be here" but then right next, "hey, there should be a space here". So it is like a double "penalty", but the single word spacing is there in both the TM and the source document.  Just clarifying that there's only one space in both the TM and the source, there's not a double space I've checked. This is happening in many strings, not just one or two.

I'm attaching a screenshot so it is clear, not sure what to do here. It seems to be an encoding issue, but everything is encoded on UTF-8.

Thank you!
