            Bug ID: 119753
           Summary: Highlighted text magically expands to new text without
                    warning
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: myusualnickname at gmail.com

Description:
At the end of a paragraph, I highlighted a word.

I then hit space, and the highlighting did not apply to the space, I then wrote
more... and the highlighting jumped from the previous word to the new word that
I was writing...   This might be OK if the space had been highlighted.. but it
wasn't... there was a clear communication from libreoffice that I was no longer
in highlighted text...  and it's not ok that it highlighted what I wrote after
because I would have done an action to turn it off...

So the space needs to be properly highlighted to indicate what is going to
happen.  I expected it to not be highlighted and my next word to not be
highlighted...   but I'm also ok with it being highlighted and me doing
something to turn off highlighting...   Of note, I had the word selected when I
made it be highlighted, which makes me expect it to not apply to the space
coming after it...  If I had clicked the button, then written the word, I would
expect to click the button to end the highlight... 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above
2.
3.

Actual Results:
see above

Expected Results:
if I select text to apply formatting to,  ONLY that text should have fomatting
applied to it...  the text typed after should not have the formatting
applied...

But really this is about the space that came after it...  It's not special.. 
It should be treated like any other character.. It is so infuriating to have
the computer tell me one behavior is occurring, then have it switch behavior
afterwards.. that is the real bug.
