Bug #: 46368
Summary: EDITING: Formatting character input has gone missing
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: jrw0...@yahoo.co.uk
Problem description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select menu item insert, formatting mark
Current behavior:
Get choice of just 3 characters:
non-breaking space
non-breaking hyphen
optional hyphen
Expected behavior:
Up to Version 3.4.5, we also had a choice of:
no width optional break (identified as ZWSP)
no width no break (identified as WORD JOINER)
left-to-right mark
right-to-left mark
I use ZWSP and WJ to correct errors in line-breaking for the Thai script -
they will also be useful for correcting word-breaking for Thai spell checking
when it is made usable by a change expected for Version 3.5.1.
For example, the Northern Thai sentence
หัวหน้าแจ้งงานหื้อลูกน้องฟังก่อนหยะญะก๋าน can be made to line-break properly in
LibreOffice 3.4.5 and 3.5.0 by sticking a word joiner between the first two
characters of หยะ.
While ZWSP is found on some keyboards, WJ is very rare. Fonts do not normally
have glyphs for these control characters, so insert, special character is not
an alternative.
