It seems that in former version, when copy-pasting from LibreWriter-generated PDFs a character corruption or replacement occurred, in that “ti” was always replaced with “n”. In version 6.0.1.1, “ti” becomes “t”. Also “ing” becomes “nn” if you copy such words as living, walking, talking.

I confirm this on
Version: 6.0.1.1 (x64)
Build ID：60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6
CPU 线程：4; 操作系统：Windows 10.0; UI 渲染：默认; 
区域语言：zh-CN (zh_CN); Calc: group

Also, I find that, if changing the fonts to Arial and then re-export as pdf, the bug is gone. Thus the bug is font-specific. The current document uses Calibri font.

Bug 66597 is becoming a kind of meta bugs with different issues lumped together, lets separate different issues.
