That's only because you're thinking about the advanced users. I have actually not tried addressing this via F&R; but let's suppose this is doable. That still does not at all help not solve the problem that more novice users are facing: They paste text from somewhere in LO and get a bunch of invisible characters which mess with their document's behavior and with keyboard navigation. We should do something to address that scenario - help the novices, and also the experts when doing something simple, so that they don't have to waste a lot of time on it. > ...

It requires so much expertise, or rather - shallow expertise on a lot of kind of characters, that even most advanced users won't have it. I'm kind of an advanced users, but I only know some of them. Only a Unicode expert (i.e. not an LO expert user...) would probably be able to do this correctly.= > Any hard-coded procedure is likely to fail for some reason, as > carefully it was implemented. I challenge that claim - considering that one can choose to either apply it or not apply it. We choose a expansive set of characters to remove; and those who want to keep some and remove some - those are the advanced users who can be left to take care of it "on their own". But - show me some characters which should both be in that standard set for scrubbing/removing, and at the same time have a good argument for not being in it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
