------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Aug 9 03:36:10 +0000 2008 ------- The change from ICU 2.6 to 3.6 introduced several issues that made 2.3 and 2.4 unusable for Khmer, so they were not used. The spellchecker was developed recently, which is what has led to detecting the problem, then it has been tracked back to earlier versions. We reallised that it worked in 2.1, but not in later version. It was not clear until the last minute which version of ICU was going to be used in OpenOffice 3.0. We started working on ICU 4.0 and then had to change to ICU 3.6, and then ended up finding out that the issue was in on OOo code itself, copied form ICU. The changes spams one single Unicode character, ZWSP (ZERO WIDTH SPACE), which is taken out of the control and format groups for word-separation (for word selection and spellchecing), making it a normal character that can be used for word separation (what it is supposed to be). Format characters are not used for word separation. This is done already for line-breaking (in a different way), but not for word-separation, which affects spellchecking. The change cannot affect anything that does not use the ZWSP character, which is used only in Khmer (Cambodian), Lao, and Myanmar text. None of these languages can be treated correctly without this issue being fixed. Cambodia is the only country in the world that has mandated the use of OpenOffice in all its education system... and implemented it. It is still using OpeOffice 2.1. Not being able to use OpenOffice 3.0 - when we have told them that the problems had been fixed (based on acceptance of the showstopper) - would really send the wrong message to the MOST friendly government in the world to OpenOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
