Splunk Search

Spaces removed from query - repeatable

We have a report that runs and when you edit the report in the edit window, it will strip the space if the line wraps to the next line of text but is the same content line... here's a mockup of the query showing line numbers as the Edit search window does.

1 | tstats blah blah.. stuff and more stuff
           even more stuff for line one
2 | rename fields from above etc etc
3 | table fieldname fieldname2 etc

if the above is put into the edit window, the space between "stuff" and "even" gets removed when you save it. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? IE: disable line wrap in the edit search window... etc etc.
