Question about hidden or invisible characters in LibreOffice documents

Hi everyone, I’ve been working with LibreOffice Writer recently and noticed that sometimes copied text from websites or other documents can bring in hidden characters, strange spacing, or formatting issues that are hard to detect at first. This can be confusing when preparing clean documents, especially for shared assignments or collaborative work.

A useful habit I’ve found is checking the text carefully before pasting it into a final document, especially when the layout looks slightly off. Tools related to invisible characters, such as textoinvisibles online , can also be helpful for understanding how hidden text or blank characters behave.


Has anyone else run into this issue in LibreOffice, and do you have any tips for cleaning copied text more effectively?
