Search/Replace Strange Behavior

I just had a strange behavior I wonder if anyone can explain. I have
a card with 3 fields containing many pages of narrative text. They
are extensively formatted with linked text, colors, etc. I used the
search and replace to change occurrences of two spaces (I learned to
type long ago on manual typewriters and can't shake the habit) to
only one space. I just typed in two spaces in the find field, and
one in the replace field. I limited the find/replace function to
field text. I pressed replace, and all formatting was lost on all
three fields. Is this a bug, or a feature? I certainly didn't
expect it.
