<pre>Paste unformatted is not a useful solution for me. Aside from the difficulty
of pressing 4 keys simultaneously, paste unformatted loses ALL formatting, not
just word boundaries, namely font, size, and font effects. The reason that I
am copying single characters instead of just retyping them is to preserve this
formatting. It is more work to reformat the copied text than to delete the
unwanted blanks.
BTW, the text that I copied did not have blanks on either side. It was
embedded in a line of dots (periods). This is another problem I have with
LibreOffice. I have to do a lot of work to prevent periods from being
compressed into ellipses.
I disagree that this problem is NotABug. The fact that the extra blanks were
inserted intentionally only means that this is not a programming bug, but it is
still a design bug. Any time that you change something that I type, it's a
bug. If you capitalize a letter that I typed in lower case, that's a bug. If
you change a word I typed, that's a bug. If you change 3 dots into an
ellipsis, or --> into an arrow, change 2nd into 2 with a superscript nd, that's
a bug, unless I specifically tell you to make those formatting changes.
Sorry, just sounding off, but this all gets very frustrating constantly
fighting against program features that I'm sure the designers thought would
actually be helpful.</pre>
