BACKSPACE
-
I am double-clicking an existing label's text area and copying the highlighted text.
-
Right........but apparently it IS giving me an unwanted carriage return. Oh well, I am only trying to save keystrokes.
-
I really do not believe I am grabbing the carraige return. What's interesting is that the label tool in SketchUp does not have this glitch.

please see attached movie..

Yeah, I get the same issue! LO seems to add a space or return to the end of the paste!
-
THANK YOU!! I knew I wasn't going crazy!

I tried but I don't get that. My result looks different in general on the Mac, than your video, but no extra return at all.
-
Interesting. But in my opinion, whether you user the backspace key or make the effort to keep the carriage return out of your selection, it's a time robbing glitch.

The problem though Dave, if you double click a word or triple click for the line, LO does tend to create this return - even if there wasn't one there.

BTW Dave is in fact correct, WORD does this same functionality. Adobe Indesign however does this how one would hope and rather intuitively. "Only" the text is selected when double clicking to select a word or triple clicking for a paragraph - ie: Not collecting an additional space at the end and pasting it too!
What Indesign does here is add a space "if" pasting into other text (as you would hope), but if it is pasted at the end or as replacement text, then no space is added to the end.
