Technically, that doesn't make it "move past the ending marker", but
"removes the direct character formatting" (at least according to
Tools » Customize)

To move past the last ending marker (there might be more than one) we
need to set the current character style to "Default" instead of simply
removing hard format.

I would have expected this to break after commit 985b180a2 on
libreoffice/writer, but looks like it detects it and it actually applies
Default instead if the cursor is at the end of the paragraph.

Interestingly enough, this does not happen at the beginning of the
paragraph. Should it? (Even if you manually set Default, it doesn't
work.)
