Hello,

When text is copied from Apple Pages and pasted into a Writer document, pasted text has middle dots instead of usual spaces. 

Steps to reproduce:
-Write something in Apple Pages
-Select the text and copy
-Paste the text into a LO Writer document. 

Result: Pasted text has dots between words instead spaces. 

Expected result: Text should be pasted with spaces between words.

Form your screenshots it can be seen that you had the Non-Printing Characters option enabled.
