Description cristi falcas 2011-07-17 01:07:47 UTC 
If a document contains a non-breaking hyphen (U+2011), when saved as html, this caracter is replaced with non-breaking space. Which corrupts the text. It should be at least replaces with a regular hyphen.

Tested on latest Ubuntu, Fedora and a 3.3 Windows version.

How to reproduce:

Open an empty document.
Insert a few non breaking hyphen (CTRL+SHIFT+HYPHEN) characters.
Save
Save as html
Open the resulting html: all nb hyphens are now spaces.

Comment 2 Jeffrey 2011-07-17 20:13:28 UTC 
Reproduced on LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) for OpenSuse Linux.
Comment 3 Stephan Hennig 2011-10-04 08:35:18 UTC 
Confirmed with LibO 3.4.3 on Windows XP.

Unicode slot for the non-breaking hyphen is decimal 8209.  Therefore, the correct HTML mark-up for the non-breaking hyphen is &#8209; or &#x2011; .

Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.

Comment 7 A (Andy) 2013-05-06 20:54:37 UTC 
not reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Does this issue still persist for you with the latest release of LO?

Actually I see this bug fixed even in 3.6.5.
