Hello fellow Grepers!

the following line:

echo -n "9999:egov" | sha256sum | grep -E "[0-9a-f]+" -o | xxd -r -p | base32 | grep -E "[0-9A-Z]+" -o

produces the following output

LCBSPBBX6BY6
VZX6P6TZMMRETTCSPXZU7GJTAPPZCPKF2UJEYDA

expected output:

LCBSPBBX6BY6WVZX6P6TZMMRETTCSPXZU7GJTAPPZCPKF2UJEYDA

As you can see it removes a single 'W' and replaces it with a new line.

Running Gnu grep 3.6, zsh and Gnome Terminal

uname: Linux 5.13.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun, 08 Aug 2021 11:25:35 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tried bash as well with same result.

On macOs i get the expected result, a colleague running the same base os on similar hwconfig computer but other device but with XFCE terminal also gets expected result so this seems to be something particular to my system but I have not been able to find why.

Everything looks the same up till the last grep. If I change the regexp to \w+ I get the expected output.

Honestly, dont know if this is a bug or just something iffy on my device but thought it might be better to contact you anyways to see if you can reproduce this in any way
