--- Comment #14 from MartinPC <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 208129 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=208129&action=edit REVISED Workaround Macros for LibreOffice Writer Soft Hyphen Display Bug This is an indivisible block of LibreOffice BASIC code that contains two REVISED macros: • SoftHyphensOn() turns the display of "inactivated/dormant" soft/conditional hyphens ON. • SoftHyphensOff() turns them OFF. They save users from having to manually navigate to Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Soft hyphens in order to toggle the display of "dormant" soft/conditional hyphens there. The ENTIRE block of code must be pasted into a BASIC macro module for the macros to work. If this revised block is replacing an original block, the ENTIRE REVISED BLOCK must be pasted over the ENTIRE ORIGINAL BLOCK. (And then the macro module must be saved.) Only the SoftHyphensOn() and SoftHyphensOff() macros should be directly invoked by users. Other subroutines in the code block that APPEAR as macro listings in the macro editor are actually helper code that is used by the SoftHyphensOn() and SoftHyphensOff() macros. These two macros are most conveniently used by adding them to a toolbar button next to the "Toggle Formatting Marks" button (¶), where the new buttons should probably be renamed something like "-ON" and "-OFF" for the sake of compactness. These REVISED macros no longer generate status messages in LibreOffice Writer's statusbar ("Soft Hyphens: ON" and "Soft Hyphens: OFF"). In the original macros, those messages blocked or interfered with the display of OTHER useful status information. If you're unsure of whether soft hyphens are ON or OFF, just click on the toolbar button that sets them the way you want them to be any time you're unsure. Clicking on the same button multiple times without going back and forth between ON and OFF won't break anything. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
