            Bug ID: 135451
           Summary: EDITING: Different behavior with No-break space and
                    Narrow no-break space
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Non-breaking spaces¹ and non-breakable narrow space² behave differently when
combining Ctrl(+Shift) with left and right arrows, backspace and delete keys.

¹(Ctrl+Shift+Space; Unicode: No-break space, U+00A0)
²(Shift+Alt+Space; Unicode: Narrow no-break space, U+202F)

Test case with non-breaking space:
1.a. Type a Ctrl+Shift+Space b (without spaces)
1.b. Press Ctrl+Left arrow, and the cursor will go to the left of "a"
Non-breaking spaces within a word behave as part of the word.

Steps to reproduce:
2.a. Type a Shift+Alt+Space b (without spaces)
2.b.1. Press Ctrl+Left arrow, and the cursor will go to the left of "b"
2.b.2. Press again Ctrl+Left arrow, and the cursor will go to the left of the
non-breakable narrow space
2.b.3. Press again Ctrl+Left arrow, and finally the cursor will go to the left
of "b"
Non-breakable narrow spaces (NBNS) within a word, for this issue, makes it to
behave as NBNS*2+1 words; in this example three words.

Expected behavior³ instead of 2.b.1 to 2.b.3.:
2.b. Press Ctrl+Left arrow, and the cursor will go to the left of "a"

³Especially in large numbers.

For "Word and character count", both spaces count as characters but do not
count as word; like (normal) space.


For the character I am using "space".
For the key I am using "Space". Although dictionaries spell it as "Space bar",
in LibreOffice Help, "Space" and "Spacebar" are used interchangeably
