            Bug ID: 122837
           Summary: Libreoffice covertly/silently butchers my text, breaks
                    WSIWYG principle
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dqeswn at gmail.com

Description:
I experience this super annoying bug. I even tried to disable auto-correct
thinking that was the culprit.

In a html file, whenever I have a two (or more) spaces before between non-white
text Libreoffice removes one of them, without notice of even showing of doing
so.
Even if is the only change to the document to add the second space and on exit
Libreoffice prompts to save the change is not retained. It's always rejected
silently. Which is horrible. It shows something and something else happens.
(Actually it always reduces the number of spaces to one no matter how many I
have)

Example: "ffmpeg -i  -acodec [...]"
I leave two spaces after -i where the input file of the command line goes, so
that I could drag&drop them after pasting the command line into a command
windows. There's no way in hell the two spaces are retained in the saved file
save. Whenever I open the file only one space is there.

As far as I know this happened with all versions of Libreoffice I ever used.
