Description rcasha 2009-06-27 05:19:01 UTC 
The Maltese language uses the hyphen and apostrophe both as word-break
characters and also as an integral part of the preceding word.

For example, "fil-bidu" is two words, "fil-" and "bidu". Similarly, "f'moħħi"
consists of "f'" and "moħħi".

At present, OOo strips away the apostrophe or hyphen, marks the word as
incorrect then suggests the same word again (ie, with hyphen or apostrophe) as a
correct spelling.

Note that the command-line version of hunspell treats these characters correctly.

Thanx. I'd appreciate if a note is added when this fix appears in a build so I
can test it before release.

OOo 3.2 is in stopper mode and only critical bug fixes are still allowed to be
integrated. I change the target of this issue to OOo 3.3. Perhaps a fix can be
found for this release. If this issue is a stopper, please promote it as stopper
for OOo 3.2 at the releases mailing list on OOo. Thx

OOo 3.3 is nearly final. I change the target of this issue to OOo 3.x. Please
find a solution and set a correct target, if you know when a fix can be integrated.
