Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29410
Extra or missing spaces when cutting/pasting words near punctuation marks
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Spaces within any text are wrongly or not at all attached to the words. ************************************************** Detailed: 1./ if I cut a word with Ctrl+X then (depending on its place) EITHER the following space OR the preceeding space should come with it, intelligently; [Example: Type (or insert) this into a Writer file: This is a sentence. Another sentence. Now select "Another", cut it and paste it. There will be no space before "Another". Then type (or insert) this into a Writer file again: This is a sentence. Another sentence. Now select "sentence", cut it and paste it. There will be no space before "sentence" buth there will be a trailing space between "sentence" and the full stop. ************************************************** 2./ If I delete a word with Delete then the following space should come with it, but no space comes with it and I have to clear one space manually. ************************************************** 3./ If I delete a word with Backspace then the following space should come with it, but no space comes with it and I have to clear one space manually. ************************************************** This is not specific to OOo 1.1.2rc2 but could be observed for ages. Thanks.
ES, pls have a look.
1) Reproducible: This happens when pasting a word near a punctuation mark. In this case, the trailing/starting space should be pasted too, as if it was between 2 words. 2)-3) Invalid/Worksforme This is not the same problem as 1) (no clipboard manipulation) Please open a new issue for those cases then explain how you delete the word: with Ctrl+Del/Backspace? The trailing/preceding space is correctly deleted too. Selecting the word and del/backspace? Yes, no space is deleted because: - you only selected the word - you may want to type directly on the place the word used to be and then there is no need to delete the space. This is different when cutting the word because ont assumes you don't want to write on the same place.
Came here when looking for another issue. This one (1) seems to be almost fixed. The only problem is when you paste the word between a word and a punctuation mark (works in all other cases) with the keyboard. Dragging it with the mouse works perfectly. So here, with the keyboard: This is a sentence. Another sentence. -> This is a sentence. sentenceAnother.
Forgot to give my configuration: OOo 3.0.1 (Sun) on xubuntu Hardy (8.04).
