Heh, something fishy is going on. I also can't reproduce that behavior
(with " " and "   ") at home comp on Windows 10 Python 3.7.4. Tomorrow I'll
check again at work and let you know. I apologize in advance. The main
problem arose огые with an empty line, but then I checked with " " and
apparently made a mistake somewhere.
