Bug #: 53399 Summary: word count inconsistent and wrong with non-breaking space Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: 3.6.0.4 release Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Windows (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: stephanhen...@arcor.de Created attachment 65456 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=65456 word count test document Non-breaking spaces are handles incorrectly by word count, giving wrong and inconsistent results. Recipe: 1. Open the attached document wordcount-sample.odt containing a text consisting of 6 words. Word count is correct in this case, both, in the status line as well as in the word count window (file wordcount-sample-1.png). 2. Replace the space between the fourth and fifth word with a non-breaking space, but don't move the cursor (file wordcount-sample-2.png). Inconsistent behaviour: Word count in status line switches to 4 whereas word count in explicit windows switches to 5. Wrong results: Both word counts are wrong as the number of words didn't change. 3. Move the cursor (file wordcount-sample-3.png). Wrong results: Word count in explicit windows now also switches to 4 and 'characters excluding spaces' decrease from 24 down to 16. It looks like non-breaking spaces are treated like end-of-file markers by the word count algorithm. Still, that doesn't explain why multiple inconsistent word count statistics are displayed in status line and the explicit word count window. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
