A Special Character dialog filtered for spaces

Special Character dialog shows all cells in its grid identically (e.g., with
same background), which makes positions with space characters look same to
cells without characters at all.

For instance, when you enter a search term "space", you only have space
characters in the grid, followed by unused cells; but it's not obvious to user
that the grid actually contains some search results, until one tries to click
on one of the first cells.

See the attached screenshot for an example.

A proposal would be to e.g. have a different background (or maybe a red cross)
in the unused cells.
