Adding tabs

[gcotterl]

In the 'Find What' box, I type a word or phrase.

In the 'Replace With' box, I press the spacebar repeatedly then type the same word or phrase.

When I press any of the 'Replace' buttons, the result contains combination of spaces and tabs then the word or phrase.

How do I prevent tabs from being added?

Find what:

Replace with:

   one

(no checkbox ticked), button "Replace All".

Cannot confirm: no tabs were added, only (as wanted) spaces. You might want to give a more precise example.
