Bug #: 43468
Summary: hard hyphens rendered inconsistenly (VIEWING,
PRINTING)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO Master
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: lo_b...@iseries-guru.com
Created attachment 54075
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=54075
archive with referenced .png and .pdf files
Export as pdf renders hard hyphens incorrectly and changes screen rendering.
The LibreOffice reported here is commit id 7a37392 (2011-11-23) configured with
--disable-mozilla
--enable-symbols
--enable-dbgutil
--enable-crashdump
--disable-build-mozilla
--without-junit
running on ubuntu-natty.
To observe the problem ...
(*) Download hyphen_rendering.odt, attached to bug 43234
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=54071>. This
document was created with the cited build of LO. I entered the
hard hyphens by typing ctrl-minus.
(*) Open that file in LibreOffice. Observe ...
a) Hard hyphens are displayed against grey background. This is
the behaviour that I am used to.
b) Hard hyphens cause less horizontal spacing than normal
hyphens, abutting or even overlapping the adjacent characters.
I think hard hyphens (except for treatment of line boundaries,
of course) should cause the same horizontal spacing as regular
hyphens.
c) Within each date punctuated with hard hyphens, the hard hyphen
following the month is narrower than the hard hyphen following
the year. I think all the hard hyphens should cause the same
horizontal spacing.
Attached 1748.png and 1749.png show this result at two scales.
By the way, LO 3.3.4 as delivered with ubuntu-natty, shows the
same thing this far but no farther.
(*) Export the document to pdf. Observe that hard hyphens are not
visible. The hard hyphens should be visible.
Attached 1751.pdf shows my result.
(*) Observe that the screen no longer shows the hard hyphens. The
hard hyphens should be visible.
Attached 1735.png shows my result.
(*) Position cursor in front of date in Heading 1 with hard hyphens.
Press <cursor-right> ten times. Observe that each (invisible)
hard hyphen uses up a <cursor-right>. I find this behaviour a bit
surprising but correct.
(*) Close the file.
(*) Open the file. Observe that hard hyphens are again visible.
