Those who have not yet given up on using LibreOffice Writer as a multi-lingual word processing application may be interested in the bug report 92655 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92655) I filed today.
It includes a listing of 10 bugs, at least 7 annoying and unhelpful behaviors, and some enhancement requests related to using different languages and scripts. This is, of course, a flagrant violation of the "one bug-one report" rule, but I felt that, since a few related bugs have been reported in the past with no action, it might be more appropriate to provide a view of the forest rather than any individual trees. There are two pdf documents attached to the report. The first is a very detailed demonstration of each of the bugs as well as instructions for how to reproduce each of them - even for those who have no knowledge of some of the languages used to demonstrate specific quirks. The second document gives an overview of what are considered "complex text" attributes, and why even that term reflects some misunderstandings and possibly some underlying structural problems. The documents have been provided in pdf rather than odt form since, although they were generated with Writer (accompanied all the while with screaming) it is not very likely that they will even be legible on any system not set up exactly the same as mine. My wish is to settle on a single word processor for all my writing needs and, although it is obviously possible to create what you see in the documents attached to the bug reports, it is beyond tedious, and I still find myself reaching for other applications in too many circumstances. Hopefully others with an interest in having non-western word processing better supported by LibreOffice Writer will chime in with comments and suggestions, or at least indicate support for some attention in this area. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/CTL-Bug-Report-Posted-for-those-using-CTL-of-course-tp4154040.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
