TermInjector seems to trip on em-spaces

Question

Tommi Nieminen , 
 I am a fond user of TermInjector, but I sometimes struggle with the POSIX flavor of Regex it uses... 
 In this case, I have words (product names) followed by an em space: 
 
 I set up TermInjector to insert the target language product name at the place where another target language product name is: 
 
 This works fine if "Product A" is followed by a space, but it fails if it is followed by an em space. I can't convert em spaces to spaces as this would mess up the layout of the target file. 
 
 Why is that happening, and is there a way to make it work?

 PS: 
 Regexbuddy still matches this: 
 
 ...but does not regard the em space as space - how does TermInjector handle this? (It does match the string if instead of "\s" it has a "\b".)

It's been a long time since I've worked with/on TermInjector, but I think you might be able to do what you want by adding the em space to the Word boundary characters list in the Advanced part of TermInjector settings. 
 I have started working on a new plugin with similar functionalities as in TermInjector (but with normal .NET regular expressions), but I'm not sure when it'll be ready for publication. The regex language in the original TermInjector is pretty limited, but it does have the benefit of being able to match any number of regexes quickly (although I now doubt whether anyone ever needed that much regex handling speed).
