Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:
I'd expect to see "\improper \red \the Default". (Or " Default", not really certain.)

Actual Results:

"mproper ed         heDefault"

Note how the first two chars of each macro are chopped, with the rest remaining. Also notice how '\the' became a tab followed by 'he', and the space before 'Default' was removed.
