Make sure you are analyzing the content with the same font, more specifically make sure you have monospace fonts otherwise you might get confused related to the spaces.

I would suggest Courier New.

What you see in the debugger text view doesn't use a monospace font by default so it's unreliable when checking the number of spaces between lines especially when there's other content besides spaces.

Another way to check the number of spaces is to replace them with some other character so that you can count them visibly.
