Does Notepad++ show all hidden characters?

In Notepad++ I have set “replace tab with 2 spaces”.

When coding in Python I copy-pasted some code from the web and it appeared indented correctly. But running the code resulted in indentation errors, which I solved in the end by removing all “visible” spaces at line beginnings and inserting the same amount of spaces again.

Could it be possible that Scintilla based Notepad++ does not show all special characters, but displays them as spaces? Is there a setting to fix this?
