Bug ID: 158726 Summary: word count bloat: all symbols counted as separate words Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.6.2.1 release Hardware: All OS: Linux (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: carlosfla...@gmail.com Description: All symbols (colon, semi-colon, period, quotes, marks, accents) are counted as separate words, whether they are joined with other characters or not. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type any document with symbols. 2. Watch the word count at the bottom. 3. Both the total count and the selection count include the symbol as a word. Actual Results: The string: Lc-ms sd:jk asdf.” is counted as 9 words, with each group counted as 3 words. Expected Results: The same string in version 7.2: Lc-ms sd:jk asdf.” is counted as 3 words, with each group counted as a single word, which is the expected result. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: A limited workaround (dash still breaks a word in two) can be obtained by adding all the symbols to the "Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - General - Additional separators" field: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) - _ = + { } [ ] : ; " ' , . / < > ? “ ” ‘ ’ … My exact version is: Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:1) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
