Description david.cortes.rivera 2019-05-08 15:49:40 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
* Launch LO Writer.
* Write some words on it.
* Select a word.
* Paste the word elsewhere.

Expected behavior: should paste the word as it was selected.

Actual behavior: adds an extra space at the beginning of the pasted word.

Reproducible: always.

I think it's a duplicate of bug 112011.

I'm not entirely sure if it's caused due to the same underlying issue, but my problem is that it adds whitespace at the beginning, and this whitespace is added when copied **outside** of LibreOffice. It also occurs with text copied from any position in the paragraph.

Results from testing:

paste word
a) in an empty paragraph => no additional space
b) at the end of a paragraph => adds always an additional space => see bug 112011
c) within a paragraph and directly before or after a word => adds always a additional space (that is what I expect => no bug)
b) within a paragraph and separated by a space before or after => no additional space is added => no bug

If there is also a problem with pasting text outside LO, you should perhaps open a new bug report for this topic.

Opened a new report highlighting that the problem is when text is pasted outside of LO: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125262
