Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109202
Emdash(—) in text causes spelling errors
Last modified: 2010-02-12 14:27:38 UTC
Using Canadian English(problem with US English, too), when an emdash is present in the text with no surrounding spaces, it causes spelling errors and produces the red wavy underline. Words separated by emdashes are separate words and should not be treated as single entities. This has never been a problem in any version of OO that I've ever used, until 3.2. See example text below. You can cut-and-paste it or, alternatively, you can manually type it as in Example 2. Example 1 Hello there Please to—ignore all this—and this too. Example 2 Hello there Please to--ignore all this--and this too.
