I've pretty well figured out that the problem here was when L.O.

And if I manually return the paragraphs to English (USA) the line breaks become sane once again. What I have not figured out is a.) why this happened -- if someone were, say, to insert an English word into a document of Japanese Kana, would L.O. Writer decide the whole document is English? -- and b.) how to prevent it happening again. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Weird line-wrap problem in Writer
There is no image attached. However, I've had similar wrapping issues in LibreOffice 6.3 with material I generate automatically when I set hyphenation to OFF, then turn every space into a no-break space. I don't see how that could happen while 'typing' but I have seen the issue, and you fix it by allowing breakpoints. That is turn hyphenation back on, and put in normal spaces. I haven't played with 7.3 yet, but if they now have a style that includes "no break" you either need to insert the wrapping yourself (shift-enter) or turn it off if the paragraph is longer than a single line.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Weird line-wrap problem in Writer
The more I poke around, it seems as if the issue is related to this: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=1035 Which is labeled as fixed, but what to do to make it work isn't specified. I need to figure out where to force it to "English (USA)" everywhere -- as I look, the offending documents are all shown as being in Japanese, even though they aren't. I occasionally paste in a Japanese character or word, though this does not seem necessary to trigger the change to Japanese -- it sometimes happens in documents that have nothing to do with Japanese. And never have I specifically told Writer I was doing Japanese. So, is there a place where I can tell it not to do me this particular favor?

No, it's not justified. But where a line runs out and the whole word jumps to the next line, here it breaks in the middle of the word, no hyphen (and I have hyphenation turned off) leaving as little as a single letter before going to the next line. I do notice now that the offending documents seem to believe they're Japanese, which they're not. In the screenshot paragraph I sent, the word "what" is divided at w, "surrender" at surre, "brave" at bra, "involuntarily" at involuntaril (with only the y bumped to the next line), "there" at th, and "story" at st.
