.rtf conversion bug - cropping characters.

I have this in epub source

when calibre converts it to .rtf it loses initial character of some sentences - see below - how come, & is this a known bug ?

calibre rtf output - preprocessing unticked:
" He'd always pictured the end of the world being a bit more … industrial. Loud
machines, cars crashing, people screaming, guns-a-blazing. Perhaps a world-cracking bomb that would shatter the Earth into bits.

ut here, there was nothing. Nothing at all, save for some calf-high grasses, endless rocks, and the towering white vistas of glaciers raised high on the horizon.

reenland was far from the minds of most apocalyptic visionaries. And yet here he was, the man responsible for stopping the end of the world. No cars crashing, none of that nonsense. Just a tiny virus, and some pigs.

PS calibre's conversion to .txt is OK, only the .rtf is buggy: txt output follows
"BOOK ONE: GREENLAND

November 5

He'd always pictured the end of the world being a bit more … industrial. Loud

machines, cars crashing, people screaming, guns-a-blazing. Perhaps a world-cracking bomb that would shatter the Earth into bits.

But here, there was nothing. Nothing at all, save for some calf-high grasses, endless rocks, and the towering white vistas of glaciers raised high on the horizon.
