Tab characters

When I press the space bar multiple times in the Find What box or in the Fill Block dialog box, tab characters are inserted into the document.
How can I prevent this?

the only thing I can imagine:
check the indentation settings - maybe indentation is configured to use tabs.

Which settings in Configuration/Preferences need to be changed?

- Start with a new document.
- Try to reproduce your "replace" experience.
- You couldn't? Then have a look what could be an important detail in that document where you experienced it first and try to incorporate it into this new document. Go back to step 2.
- You could? Try again afresh: new document, and turn it into that condition it needs to reproduce your "replace" bug.
- Post steps to reproduce here. Be precise, as in "I'm searching for 5 space characters and want to replace them with 2 space characters" - as that is more precise than "multiple times".

I can't reproduce the issue today.
Yesterday, I downloaded and installed version 8.9.0. Maybe it fixed the problem?
I'll continue trying your suggestion.
I will let you know if the problem recurs.
