This is one of the most irritating things about OO Writer. I often create text
in OO then pour it into some other system, or a reformat using a different font
or size, either of which changes where the line wraps occur. Extra spaces where
I don't want extra spaces is a document bug.

I don't believe this is a code bug, but a rather poor design decision by someone
in the past. Somebody had to craft their code to do this. Can we rip this
irritating routine out of the OO source?

Judging by the number of new issues which are a duplicate of this one, there are
a lot of people upset by this. As redi2go said, it is "A fundamental breakdown
in the WYSIWYG paradigm." Thanks.
