    option2
    option3
option4

It shows like this with polyfill.

@jenstornell thanks a lot for your feedback.

When comparing this either to <option> elements in simple, regular <select> element, and even regarding the rendering of <option> items in an <input> elements ´` "dropdown", the spaces are ignored by the browsers as well.

So quick question back: Are you expecting the rendering of those spacings by observations of regular behaviour in browsers that I'm missing? Or is it out of your "own" expectations?

Here is my code:

<datalist id="search_places">
    <option value="Kalmar län"></option>
    <option value="        Mörbylånga"></option>
    <option value="        Kalmar"></option>
    <option value="        Västervik"></option>
    <option value="        Vimmerby"></option>
    <option value="        Borgholm"></option>
</datalist>

Chrome

Edge

Firefox (polyfill)

All browsers look a bit different, but Firefox is the only one not prefixing options with spaces.
