I have no problem duplicating it with OOo 3 beta. A long string of
letters will not trigger it, but try it with some normal text (e.g.
dt,F3). Just put "/REF/" at a line break and insert or delete characters
ahead of it, or tweak the right margin with the ruler. It's easy to find
a condition where Writer breaks the 'word' between the leading slash and
the 'REF'.
Also, U+2060 works to keep the leading slash together with the 'REF',
but it also seems to have a side effect: the previous word is also
'glued' to the /U+2060REF/.
I see the exact same behavior using OOo 2.4 (all on Fedora Linux 9).
Seems there really is no good solution just yet.
Can’t duplicate this, if there is a space before the first slash.
If there isn’t a preceding space, then of course the “/F3/” or whatever
becomes part of that same word, and it begins breaking by individual
character if my string to force breaking takes almost the entire line.
But in real life no such string will be that long.
I’ve tried using periods (and using any character in non-proportional
fonts) to force a break and the “/F3/” jumps to the next line all at
once no matter what I try.
But I’m obviously not understanding something about your test. Where
does this “previous word” you mention come from?
If my example is something like “WORD /F2/”, the break only occurs in
the space before the /. If my example is something like “WORD/F2/”, then
the break occurs before the beginning of “WORD” and no break occurs
within my string and I can’t normally force it to break there.
Now if I don’t have a break before “WORD”, if I have a full line of
non-breakable characters, then the break occurs before the last
character whatever it is, as I would expect when there are no break
points at all in a line and I try to force it over the edge of the page.
I am currently using OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta on Windows XP.
