I have verified that it is a space and not a tab character. I have also verified that it is a single space character and not multiple space characters.
The second word is actually two words run together. Inserting a space in the middle gives a three-word sentence in which the spaces between words are much too big.

Justification is turned off in my OO.o. Turning justification on (by clicking the 'justify' button on the toolbar) and then off (by clicking the 'left-align' button) does not remove the problem.
I am using OO.o 3.0.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 ('Tiger'), but this problem is also present on my other machine, which is Ubuntu Hardy Heron running OO.o 2.4.

The problem persists across a variety of fonts although it is more glaringly obvious in some fonts than others.
Is there some other setting I need to switch off, apart from justification? Or should I file a bug report?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Discussions.
Use the text inspector to adjust line spacing. Here's what Help says:
Single sets line spacing to single-spaced. The space between lines is proportional to font size. Use this when the relative distance between ascenders and descenders should remain fixed. Ascenders are the parts of letters that extend to the top of the line. Descenders are the parts of letters that extend below the line.
Double sets line spacing to double-spaced. The space between lines is proportional to font size. Use this when the relative distance between ascenders and descenders should remain fixed.
Multiple allows you to set line spacing values between single and double, or greater than double. The space between lines is proportional to font size. Use this when the relative distance between ascenders and descenders should remain fixed.
At Least sets the distance from one baseline to the next so that the spacing will never be less than the value you set, but it may be larger for larger fonts in order to prevent overlapping text lines. Use this when the distance between lines should remain fixed, but overlap is not desired if the text should get large.
Between increases the space between the lines, instead of increasing the height of the lines. In contrast, double-spacing doubles the height of each line.
Hope this helps.
