Bug ID: 107184
Summary: Furigana (ruby) character selection system very
clunky, produces unexpected/unpreventable/undesired
output
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: hastra...@gmail.com
Description:
As far as I can tell, the furigana menu (Alt,O,I,Enter) always automatically
selects and divvies up the characters for which furigana are produced. This can
be controlled to some extent by selecting characters, but causes a lot of
problems if the automatic behavior isn't what's desired:
a. AFAIK it's impossible to insert a set of new characters (with furigana) in
existing text; even if the cursor is placed between characters (instead of
selecting some), the system automatically enters surrounding text into the
furigana menu for editing.
b. It is impossible to control how a selection is split up into editing
entries. Sometimes Japanese text will contain somewhat unorthodox combinations
of, say, 3~4 kanji that the system decides to split up; if this happens, trying
to put furigana over all of them together as one set is a massive pain (and
involves much repeated pressing of buttons and copious use of Backspace).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Produce a document with aforementioned uncommon combinations of characters;
something like "叩五月雨" or "二連想" are good examples
2. Try to accomplish a. above without deleting desired characters or b. above
without having to get rid of tons of extraneous output
Actual Results:
for a., stuff gets deleted. For b., creating the furigana fails the first few
times producing lots of extraneous kanji instead.
Expected Results:
For a., just don't automatically select surrounding text, and for b., always
treat contiguous selections as complete editing entries (Note: it is almost
never the case that multiple strings requiring furigana appear immediately
adjacent each other). That way I could actually use Ctrl-select to fix multiple
entries at once!
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I'm making a couple other requests/reports regarding the furigana system;
hopefully they can get cleaned up together.
