Word boundary not correct when tagging character styles in endnotes

[tatanka]

Word boundaries are not correct when tagging character styles in endnotes. As can be seen in the attached video, I am trying to tag the first word after the endnote number with a small-caps character style (I am tagging it via a keyboard shortcut to a small-caps character style). Even though I only want the first word tagged, Publisher also tags the note number with this character style (you can see that it also gets the increased tracking from the character style). There is seemingly no way to limit the character style to just the first word. As soon as the only thing separating the note number and the first word of the note body is a tab, then the character style is applied to both.

You need to specify a Character Style for the Note number in the body of the text, which you can do in the Notes panel.

This is basically the same as with Bullets and Numbering, where the character style of the first word applies to the bullet/number, too, unless you specify what Character Style they should have.
