            Bug ID: 56392
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Writer: hyphenation is not always used in line break
                    algorithm
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)

          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.6.2.2 release

           Product: LibreOffice

Package with test file and screenshots

Writer sometimes breaks a paragraph into lines without trying to hyphenate
words.

In a German language text with enabled hyphenation, Writer spontaneously
ignores hyphenation possibilities for some words. "Spontaneously" meaning that
I have never been able to find out when or why this happens.

Attached document shows this: The 5th word could be hyphenated
(„un-un-ter-bro-chen“) but is not (screenshot 1). Hyphenation just does not
work with this word, other words in the paragraph are hyphenated.
If you omit the quotation marks around the word, LO hyphenates it correctly
(screenshot 2). The quotation marks cannot generally be a problem, however,
because if you make a new paragraph containing
„ununterbrochen“, „ununterbrochen“, „ununterbrochen“, „ununterbrochen“
the word is hyphenated again.

Tested with LO 3.5.4.2 and 3.6.2.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 64/32 bit. But the bug is
probably rather old. I had a similar problem nearly 2 years ago with
OpenOffice: In a complex 2-column document, OpenOffice suddenly did not use
hyphenation to a very large degree. Sometimes I could make it hyphenate by just
adding text to a paragraph (even if I deleted it again afterwards), sometimes I
had to insert soft hyphens manually. This may be related to the same bug.
