Bug ID: 170937
Summary: [Writer] [EDITING] Inconsistent cursor position when
clicking at the end of a line ending with a hyphenated
word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Hyphenated word: a word split in two with a hyphen
When a line ends with a hyphenated word (i.e. the first part of the word is at
the end of the line and the next line begins with the second part of the word),
the position of the cursor after clicking at the end of the line is not
consistent depending on whether the hyphenated word is selected or not.
Steps to Reproduce:
As a convenience, I provided a document with a line that ends with a hyphenated
word ("master-builder"). I'm referring to this document in the following steps.
1. Open the example document
2. Find the line "explorer of the truth, the master-"
3. Click at the end of that line (i.e. after the hyphen)
4. Notice how the cursor is placed on the first character of the next line
(i.e. "builder of human happiness. No one")
5. Now, select the 2 lines containing the hyphenated word (i.e. "explorer of
the truth, the master-" and "builder of human happiness. No one")
6. Click at the end of the "explorer of the truth, the master-" line (i.e.
after the hyphen)
Actual Results:
Notice how the cursor is placed after the hyphen on the "explorer of the truth,
the master-" line.
Expected Results:
The cursor should be placed at the beginning of the next line (i.e. "builder of
human happiness. No one"), same as when clicking with the mouse after the hypen
when no text is selected.
Reproducible: Always
