OK, I was sleep deprived last night when I wrote this bug report. I meant to
write Insert > Formatting Mark > Word Joiner. Yes, I read the 7.2 Writer Guide
and saw the screenshot, but that is NOT what appears on my screen, at least in
7.2.3.1. There is a listing for "No-Width Optional Break", but it seems to
operate opposite of what is indicated in the Writer Guide (in other words, it
appears to do what Word Joiner is supposed to--but not in the work window, only
if you switch to print preview--and since I never print anything, I only really
care about how it looks on screen).
So, to repeat, there is NO Word Joiner in the menu (and according to the Writer
Guide, you do need to have complex text layout (CTL) enabled (read four lines
above the Word Joiner heading)), although through experimentation I think you
may be correct based on the fact that the "No-Width Optional Break" works
(albeit opposite of what it's supposed to) without CTL enabled, so the Writer
Guide is unfortunately incorrect. Quite frankly, this should not be happening
at all because I added C++ to the dictionary and have turned off
hyphenation--so it should never be split (plus, it's only a three-letter "word"
and who would hyphenate a three-letter word?).
