Bug ID: 158726
Summary: word count bloat: all symbols counted as separate
words
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
All symbols (colon, semi-colon, period, quotes, marks, accents) are counted as
separate words, whether they are joined with other characters or not.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type any document with symbols.
2. Watch the word count at the bottom.
3. Both the total count and the selection count include the symbol as a word.
Actual Results:
The string:
Lc-ms sd:jk asdf.”
is counted as 9 words, with each group counted as 3 words.
Expected Results:
The same string in version 7.2:
Lc-ms sd:jk asdf.”
is counted as 3 words, with each group counted as a single word, which is the
expected result.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
A limited workaround (dash still breaks a word in two) can be obtained by
adding all the symbols to the "Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - General -
Additional separators" field:
~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) - _ = + { } [ ] : ; " ' , . / < > ? “ ” ‘ ’ …
My exact version is:
Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 60(Build:1)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
