minus-squareRentlar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoA screenshot of the thing might be helpful. Is it a field (does it have a grey highlight)? Can you go to the left of it (by pressing home etc.) then press delete? I’ve been using Libre office exclusively for a few years and don’t remember encountering strange unremovable characters.
