Roman Eisele <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Version|unspecified |LibO 3.3.0 Beta2 Component|Libreoffice |Writer --- Comment #3 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> 2012-04-17 03:03:21 PDT --- If I remember correctly, this is a very old problem already present in OOo 3.x and maybe even older (therefore I changed the 'Version' picker back to the oldest available version). It is also not limited to Czech typography, but the Czech sample shows the severity of the problem especially well. Writer interprets U+00A0 like a 'fixed width no-break space', but users with some experience in typesettings or DTP applications (TeX with all variants '~', QuarkXPress and others) expect that U+00A0 should behave completely like an ordinary space character (U+0020), i.e. it should be extended and compressed in justified paragraphs like an ordinary space character, it just should not break at the end of a line ... I have never complained about this problem because I assumed it is just a clash of expecations: (many) Word processor users are used to the current behaviour, i.e. to the fact that U+00A0 behaves like a “fixed width no-break space”, while users with some experience in typesetting (like me and, obviously, dohnp5a1) would expect the other behaviour, i.e. that U+00A0 should be extended and compressed like a ordinary space. This is why I don’t use U+00A0 in Writer at all, it is just unusable in justified paragraphs for me. But the Czech sample shows that this IS a real problem, of course, and now I know I'm not the only user who is not satisfied with the state of affairs. So maybe we should discuss if the traditional behaviour should be changed, probably with a new compatibility setting to keep the traditional behaviour for old documents ...?! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
