Description: I have found the following issue when writing tildes in LibreOffice writer: When trying to put a Spanish letter with a tilde (e.g. á, é) at the end of a line, if there is a line next to the one I'm writing in, when I hit the "tilde" key (in my ISO-ES keyboard, the one that sits two positions to the right of the L, besides the Ñ), LibreOffice automatically moves to the next line, so when I insert the letter (such as a), that letter is written as the first character of the next line. To reproduce: Create a document with just two lines as follows: Line 1 Line 2 If you try to write an á after "Line 2", nothing strange happens, and the tilded character is added. If you try to do it after "Line 1" though, when you hit the tilde button it moves you to the next line, resulting in: Line 1 ´ aLine 2 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a document with just two lines as follows: Line 1 Line 2 2. If you try to write an á after "Line 2", nothing strange happens, and the tilded character is added. If you try to do it after "Line 1" though, when you hit the tilde button it moves you to the next line, resulting in: Line 1 ´ aLine 2 Actual Results: Line 1 ´ aLine 2 Expected Results: Line 1 á Line 2 Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I'm running Kubuntu 21.10, with the Libreoffice version found in its default repositories: Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-GB (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.2.2-0ubuntu0.21.10.1 Calc: threaded
I don't understand the problem. If the character is the beginning of a new word it's the normal behaviour that new word start in second line, if it doesn't fit in first line (happens with every character). If the character with tilde is part of the previous word, the whole word jumps into the second line, if it doesn't fit with first line. So please explain the problem. => NEEDINFO
Thanks for the reply! I hope the following helps to understand the issue better: Let's suppose I have a document with these two lines: This is the first line This is the second one Both lines are small enough so they do not fill the with of the document, this is, if a new character were added, it would fit in the same line. Now, let's suppose I want to add the character á to the first line. To do this, I would put the cursor after "line", hit space, hit the tilde (`) key, and then hit a, and this would be the expected result: This is the first line á This is the second one However, what happens to me is that, after hitting the tilde, the editor changes automatically to the second line, and the "a" character gets written there (without the tilde, which remains in the first line) This is the first line ` aThis is the second one I have tested this in other machines (Kubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 21.10) and the issue does not manifest there, so this might me a configuration issue in my Kubuntu 21.10 one. However, it only happens in Libreoffice, and not in the other programs.
Thank you for more specific explanation, but I still can't reproduce. Perhaps it does onl happen in some distributions of Linux.
No worries, thank you for your time! I'll try my luck in KDE/Kubuntu related forums, and I'll comment here if I find anything useful about the issue. Cheers, Alfonso

Works fine for me. Maybe you have some special key handling in your system. Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d96d1b380d3c626522407397e56d68030a73e02a CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Built on 25 November 2022
Alfonso, could you please retest with an actual version of LO, if problem is still present for you? => NEEDINFO
Hi, I cannot reproduce the same bug on Kubuntu 22.04 with Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:3) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.4.2~rc3-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded Sorry to leave this pending! I guess it can be closed, as it was probably due to some personal configuration only happening in Kubuntu 21.10. Thanks!
