Example of added space

When copypasting a word from row 1 to row 2, an extra space is added (upper arrow)
When copypasting a word from row 2 to row 1, an extra space is not added (lower arrow)

Someone wants the added space/s, some other wants no added space/s.
Maybe we need an option that can be unchecked in Tools - Options - Writer - Formatting Aids.

Reproducible with:

(In reply to robert.be.johansson from comment #0)
I confirm it with
Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

But for me it's the expected result, if a word is separated by a space from another word. Hope you agree.
