good points.

For the record I tested twice, once before starting the thread then again after jackie posted her method. I gave my detailed steps already, for both sigil & calibre.

my current hypothesis is that when you use windows copy + paste, calibre pre-processes the paste & changes the code on the invisible character(s), but does not do that we you pre-select & then open FIND.

then it can still be true that both S&R work in the very same way. The "bug" or difference is to do with inconsistencies in the various ways in which you can populate the find box with a string containing an invisible character

I have returned & deleted the original library book now but there is still the extract which I attached several posts back, if anyone wishes to continue testing.
