Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 90838
Optional hyphens are ignored, before line breaks
Last modified: 2013-03-29 11:40:43 UTC
Hi, I'm writing a book. I have long chapter names, including some with very long words, which I'd like to split, with soft hyphens, followed by line breaks (so I can break them where I want, for proper esthetic control), so the hyphens do not appear, when I insert the chapter name as a field, on a single line (for example, at the top of each page). The problem is, the soft hyphen does not appear, before the line break. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: - start typing a word; - insert a soft hyphen (Insert -> Formatting Mark -> Optional hyphen (Ctrl+-)); - insert a line break (Insert -> Manual Break -> Line Break -> Ok (Shift+Enter)); - finish typing the word; - preview printing, or export as a PDF document. RESULT: - No hyphen is visible, before the line break. Thanks in advance to everyone who will work on this.
Reassigned to SBA
I reprodused this issue on PC (Windows XP) for OOO310m9. Still the same problem.
CHecked on OOo310m9, WIndows Vista - no hyphen is visible if insert a Manual line break. If to insert soft hyphens and then some words before this word to cause the line break, hyphen is visible
As given in description. Even without a line break, hyphen in invisible despite Tools - Options... - OOo-dev Writer/Web - Formatting Aids -> Display of Custom hyphens is checked. Rev. 1400866
