------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 20 12:49:42 +0000 2008 ------- Up to version 2.1 of OpenOffice, the ZWSP character (Zero width Space u200B) was usable as a word separation character for purposes of line-breaking and spell-checking. it is used in languages that do not use spaces to separate words (Lao, Khmer, Burmese) In OpenOffice 2.4 it no longer works for spell-checking. Words separated by a ZWSP are considered as one word. It works correctly for line-breaking. Nemeth Lazlo mentioned in th elist that this is probably a tokenization problem inside the ICU library, as ICU is the one that divides the text for analysis by Hunspell. The issue is probably related to the upgrade to the new version of ICU after OOo 2.1 I am attaching two pictures, one for O0o 2.1 and one for 2.4. They show the same texts, in Khmer and English, separated by ZWSP and separated by spaces. In the 2.4 graphic we can see that when we separate with ZWSP, then the text is considered as incorrect. I the 2.1 graph we can see that the text is considered correct in both cases (spaces and ZWSP). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
