Description hwtan 2008-10-17 07:51:14 UTC 
Attached file is a paragraph created in MSOffice and converted into odt in OOo.
Please note that the last word of a line from the second line onwards are broken
into two lines. For example the word 'crowds' is broken into two lines and there
is no space between the characters w and d.

Comment 2 hwtan 2008-10-17 08:22:51 UTC 
I notice that this happens when the language of the paragraph is set as Chinese.
This is undesirable because if there are a few English words (or any western
language) in the midst of a Chinese paragraph, the effect will be unacceptable.
OOo should recognize the code page of the characters used rather than using the
manually set language blindly.
Comment 3 michael.ruess 2008-10-17 11:53:07 UTC 
That's odd... for the Western text the language attribute is "multiple
languages" even for single characters; a state that should not be... When
setting Western text language to "[none]" or "English" the line breaks will be o.k.
Interesting would be the way how this "forbidden" state was generated; e.g.
could you please attach the Word document from which the odt was converted?
Thanks a lot!

This new attached file is the original file from Word 2000 in Chinese. Copy the
following text, select all the text in the .doc file, paste the following text
over it. You may also try typing in Western text yourself. The bug should show up.



Mat 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and
sickness.
Mat 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few.
Mat 9:38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his
harvest field."

Yes, thanks for the document; there, the problem becomes visible.

MRU->HBRINKM: when importing the attached Chinese document, for Western text the
state "multiple language" will be set. Better would be to set "[none]" or the
default Western language from the Language options.
Comment 7 hwtan 2008-11-25 03:36:36 UTC 
can we set the target milestone to 3.1?
Comment 8 hwtan 2008-11-25 05:06:46 UTC 
or even earlier, 3.0.1?
