Whitespace in regular expressions

[Worker]

Trying to find text that matches a regular expression that uses whitespace doesn't work correctly.

• " " does not match anything
• " $" matches the end of the first line
• "[ ]$" gives "Unexpected end of expression

The same thing happens when using a (pasted) tab character instead of a space.

Using "\ " rather than just " " resolves the problem.

That doesn't seem right. We'll look into this and will try to fix it.
