--- Comment #1 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Tried again with a new version installed.

"Ignore double spaces" might be better labelled  "Prevent double spaces".

If "Ignore double spaces" is enabled, and AutoCorrect > While Typing is
Enabled.

then:

(a) if the cursor is on a space, then it is not possible to introduce
additional spaces.

(b) if the cursor is in a text string, then it is possible to introduce one
space, but not any more.

In short, with this option enabled, it is impossible to make more than one
space.

Tested in Writer and Calc.

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 396c2ad2daad6fe6a11703d0ae1593929834afe2

Source code also comments it as "prevent double space"

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/editeng/source/misc/svxacorr.cxx?r=94306083#1312

Conclusions: 

1.  The documentation needs to be updated.  The current description was present
in its initial check-in in 2004.

2.  The option was available in OOo 1.1.0

3.  Maybe ask UXEval on changing Option name to "Prevent double spaces"?
