--- Comment #19 from Huanyu Liu <[email protected]> ---
I would like to add some more information that may be related to this bug.

Create a new document with the following contents:

hello hello hello
Hello, world!
你好,世界!

Select the second "hello" on the first line (not the first nor the third),
without trailing spaces, and copy it with Ctrl+C. Then try pasting it with
Ctrl+V at different places.
- Most of the time, LO will add some "smart" spaces adequately.
- However, when the cursor is located just before the comma (or the exclamation
mark), LO adds a space after the pasted word, but no space before the pasted
word, which I think is not a correct behavior. (Result: Hellohello , world!)
- When dealing with Chinese on the third line, LO will treat it the same way as
English, which is not generally desirable, because LO will adjust the space
between Chinese and English automatically, and an additional space will ruin
the automatic adjustment.

I would like to have an option to disable the "smart" space addition
completely, because I will take care of the trailing spaces by myself when
copying. The automatically added spaces are often more stupid than smart...

There are also lots of long-standing complaints about this not-so-smart feature
on the Q&A site:
