Sorry to bother, not really understanding what's happening here. However more gets removed compared to expected.. and this has been the case at least since 3.3.0. Or I missing something here

1. Open the attached file
2. Double click: adipiscing
3. CTRL+X -> Also the space on the left of adipiscing disappears. And isn't included in the clipboard, as it doesn't paste.
4. CTRL+V

I confirm it with

Version: 7.1.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community

Selection left from the blue line remains after step 7. For me it's a rare usecase, because I would expect, that most people only press the arrow without CTRL (that works)

Additional information: I can't confirm the problem mentioned in comment 9
