Apologies in advance if that's not viewable; just let me know.
Yes, it is obviously not working properly on your machine.
Yet it is working perfectly on Windows XP with OOo 3.0 beta. I can
replicate your movements but the slashes just don’t separate from the
REF as they do for you. And use of the WORD JOINER character doesn’t
have the odd and inexplicable effect that it does on your machine. On
mine it makes to difference whatsoever (which should be how it works).
I attempted to move /REF/ by adding 4-point subscript periods at the
beginning of the line which provides a very small movement increment. I
still can’t make the slash separate as it does on your system.
We seem to see a difference between the Windows version of OOo 3.0 beta
and the Linux version of OOo 3.0. Or possibly, it is only on a Fedora
system that this effect occurs? I have tested using US English, Canadian
English, and UK English.
Since the bug occurs on your machine, I suggest you be the one to report
it and indicate that on at least one Windows XP system the bug does not
occur.
But I would obviously be interested in hearing confirmations on what
degree other systems either follow what I see or follow what Joe has
produced.
Note that under the Unicode annex covering this, “/” is a unique
character, which allows a break following it, but not preceding it, but
a break that is very low level. The idea is that / can occur in long
URLS which may have to be split on the screen, and that if a split must
occur, it would be better that a break occurs immediately after a /
character. But in normal cases / should not trigger a break. They
suggest that the number of characters necessary to trigger a break for /
should be larger than the norm.
