You're right, this can be inconvenient. To avoid the issue, do not use the
overline formatting for the symbol (e.g., A). Instead, insert the NOT sign via
Insert > Special Characters using Unicode AC. For regular use, add this symbol
to your favourites. 
This approach also ensures screen readers can interpret the symbol correctly,
as they often ignore visual formatting like overlines. This also makes your
document accessible, in line with Success Criterion 1.3.1 of the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which also apply directly to non-web content.
