            Bug ID: 137241
           Summary: Unable to backspace over some text
           Product: LibreOffice

          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)

Very short sample document

While editing a document, with record and show changes enabled, I found after
backspacing to delete a period left behind after copying some text elsewhere,
that I could not backspace over it to the characters to its left. It was as if
the deleted period formed a barrier.
I also found that although "Undo delete "."" appeared in the text to the right
of the "Edit: Undo" menu, choosing to Undo had no effect, and that undo item
stayed unchanged.

I have provided a vastly cut down document that for me shows the problem.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Position the cursor immediately to the right of the 2nd period after
"valuable"
2. Attempt to backspace to travel left over the already deleted text and then
to delete characters further to the left
3. The cursor will not move, characters can not be deleted by backspacing.
4. Note the Edit menu item for Undo says Undo: Delete "."
5. Attempt to undo that deletion: nothing happens.
