Post title: Whitespace handling
"Dear Conor,
thank you for your post. Not sure about the XTM version you are running but as of v12.3 (released back in April this year) Workbench supports whitespace handling, meaning that you can also keep them in Find and Replace. When you open the Find and Replace window (Alt+F is the standard shortcut), you should expand the 'Options' that you see at the bottom of the window. The last option is 'Match the count of whitespaces'. Please give it a try and let our Support team know if it doesn't work.
With a specific configuration, your client can also enable soft break handling in the target segment as well (a carriage return resulting in a new line in the target segment), but this needs to be configured from support and it is only possible as of v12.4 (released this summer).
Early next year we will be also introducing regex-based QA checks, so this will make the QA in Workbench much more flexible. Stay tuned...
PS: Check what's new in 12.5, released just today! The release notes will come out today: [url removed]

Thanks Sara,
The "Match the count of whitespaces" button seems to work in that regard. But is this not merely a workaround for a problem that XTM creates? Why kill the spaces in a search term by default. When I copy and paste a search term, in 95% of cases that will be the term I want to search. I can delete spaces/edit the term if I wish, but that would, as for any user, only be the exception.
Also, why not have the Options appear by default in the find and search window? It would at least be one less button to click.
Again thanks for your feedback, but the prevailing impression is that the translator was very much secondary in the development process behind XTM.
