Following the steps above (all on Win 10):

1. Pasting into 1and1 online email in Vivaldi and Firefox (both latest),
pasting from LO into a blank new email results in no space in front of the word
but a *linebreak* is added. The same steps pasting from Word simply paste the
word, no initial space or linebreak after added.

2. Pasting into Gmail in Firefox, pasting from LO adds no space in front but
the *cursor* is now at the beginning of the word. Pasting from Word, a space is
added after the word and the cursor is at the very end.

The above scenarios were pasting into a blank email. If I write a multi-word
sentence into the email first (ends in . no space added), the outcomes change:

1. Pasting into 1and1 online email in Vivaldi and Firefox, pasting from LO adds
two new lines i.e. I have my original sentence on line one, the pasted word on
line two and the cursor is on an empty line three. If I select all and paste it
into Rishida's unicode converter (https://r12a.github.io/app-conversion/) I get
0054 0068 0065 0020 0063 0061 0074 0020 0073 0061 0074 002E 000A 006D 0061 0074
000A (the words were The cat sat. mat).
Pasting from Word, no space is added after . but there is one at the end (the
conversion says 0054 0068 0065 0020 0063 0061 0074 0020 0073 0061 0074 002E
006D 0061 0074 00A0)

2. Pasting into Gmail in Firefox, pasting from LO, the outcome is bizarre. The
word is pasted into a new line, cursor at the beginning of the word. If I left
arrow, I end up at the *end* of the word i.e. the left arrow action outcome is
jump to word end going *right*. If I left arrow then, it moves left. Once I'm
in the previous line, if I go right arrow, I can reach the end of line but it
will not move into the new line. If I select all and paste it into Rishida's
unicode converter I get 0054 0068 0065 0020 0063 0061 0073 0074 0020 0073 0061
0074 002E 0009 0009 0009 0009 0063 0061 0074 (the words were The cat sat. cat)
suggesting LO somehow carries a shedload of tabs?
Pasting from Word simply adds a space after the . then the word, then another
space. It also carries formatting of some nature. The converter tells me it's
0054 0068 0065 0020 0063 0061 0074 0020 0073 0061 0074 002E 006F 006E 0020 (the
words being The cat sat. on)

It seems weirdness happens when copying and pasting from word processors into
online email but LO is way out in the stratosphere with weirdness.
