Bug ID: 171409
Summary: LibreOffice Writer Doesn't Break Lines at Slashes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If you use slashes (e.g. to specify different versions of the same place-name),
LibreOffice Writer treats the combination as one very long word, which breaks
line-wrapping.
A proposed workaround is to manually add zero-width spaces, but that assumes
you aren't editing successive revisions, editing for different layouts, etc.
I think it should, by default, be willing to insert line breaks between words
linked by slashes, just like with dashes.
Steps to Reproduce:
Type a word/word pair where a line ends.
Actual Results:
The pair ends up in the next line, sometimes leaving a long dent in the
previous line, or terrible kerning.
Expected Results:
The pair should split, just like with dashes.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
