--- Comment #30 from Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa at gmail.com> ---
The Unicode standard document http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/ clearly states
that:

<quote>
When expanding or compressing interword space according to common typographical
practice, only the spaces marked by U+0020 SPACE and U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE are
subject to compression, and only spaces marked by U+0020 SPACE, U+00A0 NO-BREAK
SPACE, and occasionally spaces marked by U+2009 THIN SPACE are subject to
expansion. All other space characters normally have fixed width.</quote>

Whether LibreOffice or Word, both should comply to the above standard and
expand both U+0020 and U+00A0 equally. LibreOffice should not blindly mimic
what (changing) behaviour Word exhibits on this score.

Please fix this! This is a real embarrassment vis a vis good typography
practices. 

Whoever wants fixed width spaces please use one of the remaining space
characters!
