Description sasha.libreoffice 2011-02-23 06:52:57 UTC
For example I have this text:
   I brown fox have.
I want to move word have leftward. I select word "have" and cut it. Become:
   I brown fox .
Then I paste it. Become:
   Ihave brown fox .
First time it produced unuseful space before dot. Second time no space after I.

I propose add option to enable functions:
 - Delete extra space if cut happens between words or word and punctuation.
 - Add extra space when paste happens close to word or punctuation.

Is there any way to disable this feature?
Comment 4 Mike Kaganski 2024-11-06 10:06:54 UTC
It seems to work exactly as OP *wanted*, including LO 3.3.0 (oan OOo 2.4.3, FWIW). Looks like it was a pre-existing feature, and OP was either confused when filing it, or had some specific situation, not described sufficiently, that prevented that "smart cut" feature.
