Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol
As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176
If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.
For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.
Single Replace works fine.
