--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1) > But you *can* search for a string that contains the WJ U+2060 regardless of > its position in a word or sentence. I don't mean to search for the WJ but to search for a word without having to be aware that there might be a formatting mark within it. > > Why would you expect WJ to be ignored in a search string attempting to find > its surrounding text? Usually I search for a word that way as the Word Joiner is a non-displaying formatting mark intended to control line breaking, not to alter the textual content for search purposes. Users should be able to locate text strings regardless of the presence of such non-semantic formatting characters. > > Just search for and remove the WJ, and then after editing apply it back if > needed? This way, suppose that after I remove the WJ and can't find a word, then I will need to test for other formatting marks to be sure that the word is not in the text. > > I didn't trace how we use the WJ (icu lib or as editshell handling), but the > Find Bar tb is not the UI component to be adjusting.

But in Thai words in a phrase are together. For example, this is the full name of Bangkok: กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์. And the Writer's word wrap often separate in the middle of a word. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
