I agree that this should be documented.

It's not "trailing or leading" but "trailing and leading". I did some tests to
confirm this. I also think that the phrase "single letter" is ambiguous; it can
be thought of any character from within a word if the rest of the proposed text
has not been read yet.

Allow me to propose a new text:

---
If a text cut or copied from Writer is surrounded by spaces it will be
considered as a set of words. When pasted, Writer will surround it smartly by
spaces to keep it as a word: separated by spaces from other characters but
avoiding any duplication of spaces.

If the text is pasted as Unformatted Text, this consideration is ignored and
the text is pasted as is, without adding any spaces.

My two cents.
