Describe the Bug

In the "Find and Replace" menu, if you search for TWO spaces, it will find ONE space instead.

Steps to Reproduce

In Writer:

0. Open sample ODT document. Or just use this sample text:

• This is a sample sentence with double spaces in it.

1. In "Home" tab:
   • Click on "Find and Replace" button.
2. In "Find and Replace" popup:
   • Find:
     • = TWO spaces
3. Press "Find" or "Find All" button.

Expected Behavior

"Find" or "Find All" button should only find:

• 3 hits of double spaces.

Actual Behavior

It finds:

• 13 hits of space.

Additional Context

Same exact thing happens in the "Replace" box as well (Step 2).

Also odd, it looks like the second you click out of the Find/Replace boxes, they "gobble up" any spaces at the end... 1 space before/after is fine, but 2+ spaces at beginning/end get shrunk to 1.

So if you type this into the box:

• with
  • with + TWO spaces

and leave the box, it automatically turns into:

• with
  • with + ONE space

so this doesn't let you search OR replace with TWO OR MORE spaces at the beginning/end of your terms.

Side Note: I use this type of search and replace often. TWO spaces -> ONE space, since it's a very common typo (especially hidden at end of lines/paragraphs).
