Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58023
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Cannot create non-breaking spaces in LO writer
Severity: minor
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: wwaus...@gmail.com
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.4.3 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I am absolutely certain that this is an environmental issue, but I can't find
the environmental variable that's causing the problem.
Ever since I updated from Fedora FC16 to FC17, NO existing user except root can
create non-breaking spaces (CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE) in LO. A new user with a pure
"default" environment can, but we have tried that and then added ONE-AT-A-TIME
additional environmental variables from those common to all existing users.
(logging that new user out and then between each addition so as to pick up his
environment cleanly, just to be certain).
At some point during that process (about 30 env variables in, but it can be
anywhere from 28 to 34) some "combination" occurs and removing the most
recently added env var does not help - the user still can no longer create
them. (This occurs in both the fedora-included LO 3.5.x and in the downloaded
3.6.3 thru 3.6.4.3).
All users are using the KDE desktop, although changing an existing user's
desktop to gnome, XFCE, or enlightenment (e16) doesn't seem to affect the
behavior.
Non-breaking spaces in existing documents appear and behave as expected, so it
is only the issue that they can't be created.
I have written to the fedora user list and nobody responded, so i suspect it is
a problem which nobody else is seeing.
And of course on a "parallel" (same arch) machine running fedora fc16 it is not
possible to reproduce the problem with any release up thru 3.6.4.3.
I have searched the archives and cannot find any other occurrence of this
problem at all - and it is an annoyance but not major. But since I had hoped
to give a demo at my office using this machine, the matter is holding that up
as well.
Thanks
