Hmm, APA calls for 3 dot, or 4 dot when ending a sentence. So technically using
the Unicode U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS should not be used at all ;-) Just
remove, or modify, the autocorrect substitution to meet your preference.

While other CSL that call for spaces, allow either NBSP or NNBSP between the
dots.

Point is LibreOffice already support all those variations, and that you've made
no case nor justified a work flow that is not supported.

IMHO => NAB
