Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11748
line breaks wrong with smart quotes
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:39 UTC
When a line ends with a full stop, a question mark, or an exclamation point followed by a double closing quote character, it can break between the punctuation marks, like this: "Do you love her? " "Yes. I love her. " "You unutterable bastard! " I know that in general it's right to break lines after punctuation; but this is wrong. Should a full stop be a line-break character when it is followed by anything other than a space? I'm not sure that it should be. Think about alt.pedantry. linebreaks or www.openoffice. org Neither looks right. In any case, the quotes example is definitely wrong, and should be fixed before release. I don't remember it happening in earlier versions of the software so this is probably a regression thing with 644.
MRUs area.
still there in 644_m4. This only shows up when there is a punctuation mark before the quote. words that don't end in puctuation wrap as they should, with the whole word, and both quotes, moving own to the next line.
MRU->FME: I also think, that the line shouldn't break between the interpunction and the quote. A case for the break iterator?
FME->Karl: Break iterator issue.
Created attachment 5133 [details] Example winword .doc file
Break Iterator is breaking on fullstops not followed by whitespace in 6.1/1.1 candidate. It did not in 6.0. i.e. in the attached .doc add content before the final hyperlink it will break on /regression fullstops in 6.1/1.1 and will not in 6.0/1.0. A regression and a very important incompatability with both older versions and microsoft work. cmc->mru: This is an important one for interoperability/regression.
Might this be related to #12221 and #12036, which were also apparently breakiterator regression bugs? I had mail this morning saying both had been fixed, and that they had been broken by a fix made to somehting on the internal bug database.
No, this bug is different from i12221. It is due to the new ICU line break iterator problem.
FME->Karl: Please also consider text like this: c:\mypath\myfile.sxw

I make those puctuations, like period, question mark, colon, etc. as part of words, which cause them only can be broken by following space.
Reassigning for QA
Checked fix in CWS apps61beta2.
Verified. Fix will be included in OO 1.1 Beta2.
closed.
I just installed 1.1beta2 and tried this again. those closing quotes after a punctuation keep dropping to the next line.
correction; it is working correctly now. 1.1beta2 is not too clearly marked, so I thought I was using it, but I wasn't. thanks for the progress.
