FYI, bash automatically appends a newline to a "here string". See bash(1): "The result is supplied as a single string, with a newline appended, to the command on its standard input". Try printf '%s' 'MY_COMMAND' | xsel -ib instead.

Removed "a space [is present at the end]" because it can only be a new line char, like "Enter". Added `bash` tag because the newline issue isn't present in other shells like `zsh`.

The thing you see at the end is definitely not a "space", it's a "Enter" (aka "newline" or \n). That's the symbol I see when I do <kbd>Shift+Enter</kbd> with libreoffice. A space at the end of a command will never make a bash command to execute. Also, I'm not sure I really understood your problem : do you only want to prevent bash from executing any text you pasted ? Or do you want something more ?
