A workaround to this:
One way to detect and eliminate them is to create and then utilize
temporarily a special page style (or two is even better) using an
effective page width different from the one you'll be using in order
to force those locations containing any potential double or triple
spaces to somewhere NOT at the end of the line.

Very copious in my opinion. Just autoformat the document having
activated only the two options "delete spaces ..." (sorry, don't know
what it is exactly in English) under "Tools > Autocorrect" on page
"options". Then you will have no more unnecessary spaces at all ;)
I would prefer not having all such double spaces automatically deleted
while editing just in case there are double spaces which should stay for
any reason. [Most of the writers whom I commercially edit were ordered
in their requirements (contract provisions) not to incorporate any such
archaic writing practices, such as inserting double spaces between
sentences, etc. Hopefully, these would be few in number. At times, the
double spaces are tolerable in some particular cases.]
I distrust having some automatic option doing more than it need do.
After all, finding those double spaces while editing via Find & Replace
is fairly simple to do, and the editor still has some control over the
entire process. If OOo were more bug free, I might then revise my thinking.
