Description tagezi 2016-05-30 09:24:34 UTC
OS: Gentoo Linux kernel 4.4.6-gentoo
LO 5.1.2.2.0 build ID: Gentoo official package ru_RU
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
LO 5.0.5 ru_RU

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Calc
2. Enter some long text into a cell
3. Right-click on the cells and open the "Format cells..." dialog
4. Go to the Alignment tab and check "Wrap text automatically" and "Hyphenation active"
5. Click Ok

Hyphenation does not function. It also does not in en_US locale.

Words must be carried by syllables, if Hyphenation active is checked and text is long.

"hyphenation active" does work in Calc, only doesn't for English (USA). For example, it works for English (UK).
So I change to Localization and update the Summary.
For test, language support must be installed so it should be tested with release versions. I confirm with 6.1.

I can't say why I noted that hyphenation in Cal does not work only for "English (USA)".
But I see now that there's another broader issue here, tested in LO 6.4+ when default language is a different one:

hyphenation *works* for existing text if desired and supported language is set via Tools-Language-For All Text..

hyphenation does *not* work if language for existing text is set via Format-Cells-Numbers-Language 

hyphenation *works* for new text if language set via status bar Text Language button.

Maybe that's as intended (language for numbers is just number format), it should then be written in Help under "Hyphenation active".

Per https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127856#c3 that's correct behavior. So I close the bug.
Feel free to set back New if retested wrong, but with exact details and steps.
