Dear Community,

Could anyone have a look please and confirm if the following observation is related to a bug?

Version 4.4.6 (v4.4.6-0-gaebb20483889).

One example packet is attached.

I compared the two ways of exporting the packet details into a text file:
1. Export Packet Dissectors -> As Plain Text
2. Right click, Copy -> "All Visible Items"

Or more precisely:
1. From Menu: Export Packet Dissectors -> As Plain Text with Packet Format "All expanded"
2. Right click on "NR Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol", Expand Subtrees, right click again, Copy -> "All Visible Items"

The results do not have the same indent at the very end.
The result of option 1 seems to be incorrect to me.

For option 1:

Is this a formatting bug of exporting under option 1?

Thank you.
