See also this thread: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/msg03406.html I agree that composing strings in such a manner is not okay, and should it become a habit with the devs, it's a disaster waiting to strike. Another such case: 7yKt + btRK = "Insert" + " Rows" 7yKt + xGzB = "Insert" + " Columns" (make a table in Writer, right-click in it, choose Row - Insert or Column - Insert, and behold the dialog title.) I'm not sure if there are more.
