            Bug ID: 143382
           Summary: Pointer position while making changes to written text
                    in LibreOffice Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I am using LibreOffice Writer to proofread an already written text. If I have a
sentence to change, for example I want to delete something and write something
else, I place the pointer on the text I want to delete, I delete it, then I
press the space bar, but the pointer remains next to the last word and it adds
more spaces next to the following word. See an example:

ORIGINAL TEXT "center and tonifies the heart... "
MY ACTION: I have deleted the ending "er" of center and replaced it with "re",
then I give space
RESULTING SENTENCE: "centreand     tonifies the heart"

If the pointer is next to "centre" and I press the space bar, the pointer
remains still and moves forward the following words.

I hope I was clear enough and you can fix this, because it doubles the
proofreading, as I also have to correct the system's mistakes.
Thanks

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Original text that I want to edit: "center or tonifies the heart... "
2. I have deleted the ending "er" of the word "center" and replaced it with
"re" and the word "or" to replace it with "and", then I press the space bar
3. Resulting sentence, after my change: "centreand   tonifies the heart" -->
the pointer remains next to the previous word, even if I press the space bar.
It moves forward the following words. 

Actual Results:
3. Resulting sentence, after my change: "centreand   tonifies the heart" -->
the pointer remains next to the previous word, even if I press the space bar.
It moves forward the following words. 

I have to manually go back, press the space bar again to split the words
"centre and" and then move forward and delete the spaces.

Expected Results:
I'd like to press the space bar and get the pointer to move forward, so that I
can write and have two separate words.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
