Enabling (?xx) and then using a multi-line character class (as in, contains one or more literal newlines) should not match a literal newline in TEST STRING:
(?xx)
/(?xx)abc[\t ]def/gm
Lines 11-12 on https://regex101.com/r/HB1v58/1 contain the text "abc" followed by a newline, followed by "def".
The EXPLANATION on the side also omits mention of the newline; it includes only that the tab should match:
Match a single character present in the list below [\t ] \t matches a tab character (ASCII 9)
Since "extra extended" mode is enabled, only the 2-character \t should be considered, and not the literal newline found within the character class.
\t
In other words, lines 11-12 should not match.
