            Bug ID: 131266
           Summary: Extra space added into .doc (possibly RTF)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: saywellaj at gmail.com

I have some documents that were scanned and OCRed using older software and
saved as .doc. There are some double spaces due to interpretation of typewriter
font. In previous versions I could remove these by CTRL+H and searching for " 
" (two spaces) and replacing with " " (single space). 

In version 6.4 the same document now seems to have two characters for each
space. Inspection by ALT+x shows where there is one space (U+0020) in the
document opened in Writer 6.3.4.2. The same document opened in Writer 6.4.1.2
has 2 spaces: U+2006U+0020.

It seems that the new version converts the space to Unicode but doesn't delete
the older character
