Bug ID: 88370
Summary: Hebrew Smart Quotes Behaviour Complex and
Unconfigurable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Setup:
* LibreOffice 4.5.0.0 (master) with Hebrew (CTL) support
* Smart quotes are on (check the checkbox in Tools > AutoCorrect Options... >
Localised Options > Double Quotes > Replace).
* Linux Mint 17.1, 32-bit
Reproduce:
1. Create a new file.
2. Type a Hebrew sentence in quotes, without a full stop at the end (example:
“האיש הולך הביתה").
3. Type another Hebrew sentence in quotes, with a full stop at the end
(example: “האיש הולך לעבודה.”).
Expected Result:
In both cases, the quotation marks enclosing the Hebrew sentences should be
curved according to the symbols picked in AutoCorrect options.
Actual Result:
In the first case, the last quote is not replaced with a curved quote, but
remains as a “Gershayim” sign. In the second case, the quotes are both replaced
correctly.
I believe the reason is that in Hebrew, Gershayim is used inside of acronyms
(such as מנכ"ל, פלמ"ח), and that LibreOffice interprets placing a quote
directly after a letter as necessarily writing an acronym. This behaviour is
confusing and does not correspond to any setting invoked by the user. It can be
a useful feature, but it has to be handled differently.
