The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/bug-reporting.html
Description:
First check the output of "select LTRIM(' startech academy ', ' sta');"
output is "rtech academy "
now the thing is output of "select LTRIM(' startech academy ', ' star');"
output is "ech academy "
the question is where is 't'?
The problem is when we do LTRIM for trimming the first four characters, it
trims the first five characters. but in the case of doing three characters,
it gives the correct output.

It's trimmed, because you asked t to be removed. It trims every single
character at the beginning of the string till it encounters another
character. The doc example makes it more clear:
ltrim('zzzytest', 'xyz') → test

Both outputs are correct actually.
