When you copy from the webpage to the terminal, it pastes the non-breaking
space as ascii character a0 which is treated similar to the regular space ascii
character 20. When you paste in LibreOffice, it pastes as HTML format, and in
HTML format you have non-breaking space and non-breaking space shows up with a
grey background in LibreOffice. In LibreOffice if you use Edit > Paste Special
and select 'Unformatted Text', it will not add non-breaking spaces to the
pasted text.

Pasting it into Microsoft Office replaces all non-breaking spaces in HTML
format with regular spaces, which is why it doesnt happen there. When copying
from LibreOffice to the terminal it copies non-breaking spaces as the two
character c2 a0, which is likely the cause of the problem you are facing.

@ux-advise: Should we change the behaviour of pasting in HTML format to replace
non-breaking spaces with regular spaces?
