Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libreoffice

In LibreOffice on Natty 11.04, non breaking spaces before punctuation
mark are not applied in fr-CA locale.

When I check in Format -> Autocorrect -> AutoCorrect options, there is a
localized option tab with "Add non breaking spaces before specific
punctuation marks in french text". Thing is, it does not apply on
question marks, it evens remove any space between a word and the
question mark automatically (which is the English language use of this
rule).

I think it's because there is no existing autocorrect.dat for fr-CA in
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/autocorr/ (there is only a acor_fr-
FR.dat). Nevertheless, other rules seem to apply (like replacing " "
quotes for « » which works in French (Canada)).

It seems really to be a problem with the CA part, because if I turn the
entire document in French (France) (fr-FR), then the autocorrect rule
applies for question marks and works fine.

To be sure, I also tested with a brand new guest session on my machine
so that no .libreoffice of mine would be on the way, and I get the exact
same behaviour.

I can do more testing if needed.
