Description thedeadlysarcasm 2026-01-21 10:43:10 UTC
Description:
Writer crashes when using hyphenation and adding text to a paragraph so that the final two words of the paragraph, which are separated by a non-breaking space, wrap to the next line.

This happens in the following specific situation:

- Final two words of a paragraph separated by non-breaking space;
- Paragraph style with hyphenation activated;
- "Hyphenate final word" DEACTIVATED.

If any of the above conditions aren't true (e.g. the words separated by non-breaking space aren't at the end of the paragraph but there's other text after them), crash doesn't occur.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached file
2. Add text anywhere in the paragraph except at the end, so that the final two words of the paragraph wrap to the next line

Actual Results:
Writer crashes.

Expected Results:
Words wrap to the next line.


Reproducible: Always
