Description Benedict Dudda 2016-12-01 15:10:44 UTC
Description:
To be specific: The German word construct "Kraftwerks-", i. e. "Kraftwerkspark" does not work for the font "Linux Libertine G" correctly. LibreOffice is used in German, the autosyllabification ("Silbentrennung") is working. If a word with "Kraftwerk-" is separated between "Kraft-" and "-werks-" the letter "w" and "e" are displayed at the same place. This means, that you really can not read the word part "-werks-". As far as I see, the problem does occur with the font "Linux Libertine G", for other there is not similar problem. Therefore I am not sure, if this is really a problem of Libreoffice but rather of the font type. This Problem occured in the release 5.2.1.2 and in the new 5.2.3.3.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Textdocument in Writer with syllabification and language switched to German
2. Use font "Linux Libertine G" size 12 and use justified typesetting
3. Write "Kraftwerkspark" at the end of a line, so the word will be separated "Kraft-" and "-werkspark"
4. See wrong typeset

Actual Results:  
The result will occur everytime.

Expected Results:
"w" and "e" are displayed at the same spot in companion with "r" creating a wonderful new letter.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes, even a new release, as discripted above, will bring no better result.

Additional Info:
This bug can always be solve, if the autosyllabification has no need to divide "Kraftwerks-" at an end of a line.

Tried with justified, German, Linux Libertine G, Tools - Lang - Hyphenation: not reproduced on Win or Linux.

On Linux, the only strange thing I get is an extra hyphen. On Windows, I don't get even that.

For me it is also not reproducible with LO 5.3.6.1 and Win10.

Do you still have the problem? I'm not really an expert, but as far as I know some problems can be solved, if you disable OpenGL (Extras -> Option -> LibreOffice -> View).
 
Set to NEEDINFO. Please change it back to UNCONFIRMED, if the bug is still there or WORKSFORME, if everything is O.K.
