--- Comment #5 from Octavio Alvarez <octallo at alvarezp.org> ---
1. Have "a b c" in a document.
2. Select and copy "b". No spaces selected before or after.
3. Place right after the "b" and paste.

Expected result by OP: "a bb c"
Actual result: "a b b c".

Also try:

3. Place right before the "c" and paste.

Expected result by OP: "a b bc"
Actual result: "a b b c".

BUT...

1. Have "abc" in a document.
2. Select and copy "b".
3. Place right after "b" and paste.

Expected result by OP: to be consistent with the automatic space insertion, so
either "ab bc" or "abb c".

Actual result:  "abbc".

@Contestcen: please confirm that this is what you are observing and reporting.

I think this is LibreOffice automatically detecting whether the selection is in
word limits and trying to be smart about it by making sure it's inserted as a
word without repeating spaces before and after or inserting them accordingly.
In the first two cases Writer understand "b" is a word. In the third case it's
clearly not.
