Bug #: 45381
Summary: FORMATTING: Incorrect Detection of CTL Script (Khmer)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.5 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy (or manually write) this text into Writer: "This is English text."
«ហើយគ្លានេះជាភាសាខ្មែរ។»
Current behavior: All punctuation marks are detected as "English" rather than
Khmer, regardless of what keyboard layout was used to type them, and regardless
of the Khmer characters immediately after or before the punctuation marks.
Currently there is no way to use a Khmer font for punctuation marks unless a
Khmer font is also chosen as the "western" font - which inhibits multilingual
documents because Khmer punctuation marks are positioned slightly differently
than they are in western fonts - so the punctuation looks slightly off if a
font such as Times New Roman is used for punctuation rather than Khmer font
such as Battambang. This error also hampers grammar checkers such as
LanguageTool which use the LibreOffice language detection for various
grammatical rules (so some rules for Khmer are broken).
Expected behavior: LibreOffice should detect punctuation around Khmer Unicode
to also be in the Khmer language. Or at least allow the user to over-ride and
change the language of the punctuation to Khmer (currently punctuation cannot
be changed to the Khmer language because punctuation is seen as Western, and
Khmer is CTL).
