<pre>Description:
I find that when I copy text LibreOffice Writer either (1) copies exactly what
I selected, or (2) adds an extra blank after the copied text, or (3) adds extra
blanks both before and after the copied text. I have no idea why I sometimes
get one behavior, and sometimes another. My preference would be always to copy
exactly the selected text, and never add extra blanks. But regardless of which
behavior you choose, it should be consistent. I can delete the unwanted blanks
if I know I will always get them.
Steps to Reproduce:
Select a few characters and copy them to another place using ctrl-C and ctrl-V.
Try characters from the start, middle and end of a word. Simply notice
whether any extra blanks appear.
Actual Results:
The results are inconsistent. Sometimes I get extraneous blanks, sometimes
not. It is this inconsistency that is the problem.
Expected Results:
Only the text that I selected should appear. Nothing else should be added or
inserted. If I wanted to copy the text with a blank I would have selected the
text and the blank together.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No
