RPAD space in a display item does not work?

Hi Everyone,

  I was trying to add some space on a display item value using something like this

This is in the source of the display item

select rpad(table_column,10, '  ') from table.

It shows the values minus the rpad whitespace (works fine on sqlplus)

but if I put something like

select rpad(table_column,10, ' X ') from table. Then it adds the XX properly.

I changed the display item setting

Escape special characters to - >no and restricted characters -> All characters allowed for that display item. Still it removes the whitespaces. Any alternatives or ways to do this?

thanks!
