This is a strange and unexpected "feature" in the latest Libreoffice upgrade on Debian stable: in Writer, I can no longer enter more than one space at a time (between words or sentences)! This is not like at the end of a line where excess spaces are still there just not seen, and the corresponding number of spaces can be deleted - this is different, where additional spaces are simply IGNORED! "How bizzarre!" as they say :) Anyone know how to revert this "fantastic" new feature? :D

Is it enabled? It does not work for me but disabling it might work for you. I also have a vague recollection of HTML editors not allowing multiple spaces. I do not know if this applies to LibreOffice Writer. Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand

I have no familiarity with "HTML editors". I use plain text editors for editing HTML. It is totally normal for HTML renderers to collapse sequential spaces into one. Those who wish other behavior must apply one of the CSS "white-space" properties PRE or PRE-WRAP that prevents collapsing. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
