Error when searching for double spaces in Studio 2022

Question

Dear all, 
 I hope you've had a good start in the new year! I'm writing you because I've noticed that in the last weeks the search for double spaces (via search and replace) in Studio 2022 is not working at all. I use it very often after dictating with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Recently, when I perform the search, Studio seems to find a random groups of characters instead of double spaces (and not always the same characters). Please see the images for reference. I also tried to use regular expressions for the search, but the result is the same. The search for other words/characters works fine.

Jesús Prieto I also thought of the Advanced Display Filter but that does not fix the need to replace and yes the lack of highlighting matches is a problem. Lorenza Valt I tried to reproduce but I could not. Perhaps my files were too simple. 3 lines 2 of which had double spaces on target. May I test using your files? Or Jesús Prieto could you pass me something? Also as a counter test, would you mind trying the SDLXLIFF toolkit that will support you in a search and replace. Would be nice to see if it also finds a group of characters or perhaps give you a reliable find/replace while we continue testing this in Studio. Thank you

Lorenza Valt Thank you and now I see exactly what you mean. I did find an old item for development that seems to relate to the accuracy of the find/replace but I will get the teams to double check and review. In the meantime the SDLXLIFF toolkit I mentioned earlier works perfectly
