Created attachment 182661 [details] A sample file Inserting a Word Joiner character before/after space sometimes does nothing.
I’ve ran into this as well. This is especially problematic in justified text where one can’t simply use non-breakable spaces like U+00A0 instead as they don’t stretch. As suggested in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/variable-width-non-breaking-space/87672, the WJ has to be before the space and never after it. As far as I can see, that works except of one single case: the break still occurs if the word before the word joiner fits into the line but the following space does not. LO version: 7.4.3.2
Note for testers: you can insert a word joiner through Insert - Special Character and using the Search box. I tried to reproduce this from scratch in a text box similarly to what is seen in attachment 182661 [details]. I made two test paragraphs, inserting the WJ before and after a space between the last two words where the last word was normally breaking to a new line. In both cases, it worked as the two last words were now breaking to a new line. If I made a mistake, please correct me by writing down extremely specific instructions. Even a screen recording might be considered, so there is no room for mistakes. Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Created attachment 189793 [details] Demonstration file with a tutorial I'm sorry, I do not currently have the opportunity to record a video tutorial, but I've compiled an ODT tutorial with the piece of form that let me discover this bug.

Thanks. I tried again and noticed that it can be reproduced with a very specific width of the box. So writing out the instructions from your file and modifying them a bit 1. Insert - Frame - Frame... 2. In Position and Size tab, Width: 2,92 " or 7,41 cm 3. In Borders tab, all padding to 0 4. Copy and paste the text from the frame in attachment 189793 [details] Note that the font should be Liberation Sans and size 8 pt. I could reproduce already in version 3.5.0 Arch Linux 64-bit, X11 Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5703d3af04b8fe78fdd4dbef14b08d8446402779 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Built on 14 January 2024
