Thank you for not telling us where to find the space in that document. We all
love to waste time identifying the problem and train our mind-reading skills.

Try again.
(Tell us where in the document we will find the non-breaking space. E.g. "on
page three, in the box captioned with 'DUDAIM (The)', third line")

We can search for the character, but there needs to be the character.
There are no non-breaking spaces around "Reason"
Furthermoe the document seams to be broken/there are other problems with the
document that hide the passages.

OK, this shows that you don't have a sense for sarkasm. Sorry.

Please provide a screenshot of what you see and please explain how this document
was generated.

->florincoter: please also try to reproduce it with a simple 2-lines document,
indicating step by step where to add the space.

nbrk spc test case, explanations inside the doc.

Explanation in the documentnbsp 1.odt (5lines?)

one line paragraph rtl before problem
two lines paragraph rtl with the problem
two lines paragraph ltr where there is no problem.

Florin.

With the new document this is perfectly reproducible. (linux, m88, therefore OS
to ALL, Platform to ALL)

But it is not the non-breaking space that behaves wrong. (if the NBSP would not
be respected, the result would be "sdfgh dfdfghdfh" on one line and "dfhjdfj" on
the other line (as if you would replace the non-breaking space with a regular one).

The problem is that the individual latin letters "word-wrap" at the line-end
when a non-breaking space is used. Therefore I reworded the summary to describe
the problem more exactly - although now it is a bit long..

original summary:  "breakable space breaks"

I suggest raising Prio to P2 / fix at least for 2.0.1

I'd rather leave it as P3 but, yes, set the target to 2.0.1 (was already there
in OOo 1.1.4)

Analysis: In general, non-breakable space works within mixed direction text. A
problem occurs if there is no other break possibility before the non-breakable
space *in* the bidi portion. In this case, the line break has to be at the
border of the RTL and the LTR text.

Considering the effort, the priority, the risk and our resource planning I've to
retarget this issue to OOo Later.
