Hi Mirek,


    Basically, when the cursor resides in a word (after first or in
    front of the last character of the word), all formats apply to the
    whole word. I never realized this, until I started using subscript
    and superscript a lot in my writing (for chemical names like CO2).

    Is it feasible to change this behavior to formats only being applied
    to newly typed characters?

I'd never noticed this before, I thought that the change only applied to
the characters typed going forward, possibly because I only apply
sub-/super-script formatting once I have entered the formula.


    It seems strange to me, that the whole word is affected, since it is
    something from the past, in contrast to typing new characters in the
    future after invoking formatting (like super-/subscript).

    If a whole word has to be formatted, it can easily be marked by
    double clicking it. This also makes more sense to me, since I
    thereby actively tell LibreOffice, that I want the whole word to be
    affected.

Yes, as a user I would agree (but then I'm a chemist so it would be
handy), although I confess to not having noticed this behaviour before.
