Created attachment 156530 [details] Draw doc showing the bug If you use a soft hyphen in a textbox in Draw, then at line break the word is broken up where the soft hyphen is situated, but no hyphen is shown at the end of the line. This behaviour happens since at least 5.3.3.1, and still does in Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build-ID: 5f40fa6f29a2a51a5f843f7a92d57721e1b8d540 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0 Build 17134; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded Attachment SoftHyphen.odg shows an example: add one or two characters after the A and the following word will be split, without any hyphen. I'll post a similar Writer document immediately, containing the same string (you may copy it from one document to the other, to be sure), where the behaviour is correct.

I can confirm the behavior. The hyphen is missing too in shape "text box" in Writer.

I confirm this bug which is reproducible for text boxes. soft-hyphens are visible in normal text in writer and also in frames. In text boxes, the soft-hyphen is invisible, which it is very inconvenient especially in Libre Draw where you can write text only in text boxes (and possibly in Libre Impress).

fixed in master, ongoing back-port in 7.6 @Gerhard & all: thanks for the report and feedback!
