Hi,
Nicolas, Andreas did put the "\\" at the end, but the line must have got
wrapped in your email client.
I confirm the behavior Andreas reported -- spaces are being needlessly
added after forced line breaks in ODT export.
A couple of redundant newlines in ox-odt.el seem to be at fault, so I
attach one of the simplest patches ever...
Yours,
Christian

Subject: [PATCH] ODT: Stop adding leading space after line break
* lisp/ox-odt.el (org-odt-line-break): remove newline after line-break
tag
(org-odt-plain-text): ditto.
The exporter was pretty-printing the ODT XML with newlines after
forced line breaks, but LibreOffice would interpret those as
spaces. This led to a leading space after every manual line break.
