Bug ID: 155949
Summary: EDITING: Extending selection to next word includes
after-word space
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When extending a selection with keyboard, e.g. shift-ctrl-right, the selection
includes the space after the end of the word. This means that any operation on
the selection, e.g. italicizing, will also include the extra space. This is not
only bad typography (even though it doesn't make any difference in practice),
but it is also bad coding practice, if only because it creates problems when
converting to other formats where spaces matter.
In any case, the space shouldn't be italicized. Other editors (e.g. Obsidian)
remedy this by placing the end tag before the space even if the space is
included in the selection.
