Backspacing a selected word does not remove the adjacent space on macOS
Deleting a selected word on macOS also removes an adjacent space character. This behavior is part of macOS and not specific to any browser and works consistently across browsers (Chrome, Safari and Firefox were tested). It works for native apps, <input>, <textarea> and vanilla [contenteditable="true"] elements.
📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)
- Type a few words into the editor:
This is a simple test. - Double-click on
simpleto select that word. - Hit backspace to delete the word.
✔️ Expected result
The line should read: This is a test
❌ Actual result
The line now contains two successive spaces: This is a test.
📃 Other details
- Browser: Not relevant, this is OS specific.
- OS: macOS 13.4.1
- First affected CKEditor version: Unknown
- Installed CKEditor plugins: Not relevant

Quick note here: this result is only expected by double-clicking on the word. If you manually use the cursor or arrow keys to select the word and delete it, the space should not be removed.
