Description Joachim Nuyttens 2011-08-21 06:25:49 UTC 
Created attachment 50423 [details]
screenshots

When hyphenation is configured to work without inquiry, the configuration of other items in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids (ex. number of characters before linebreak) are not taken into account.

To reproduce this problem (see also attached screenshots):
- create a new document in Writer
- set option 'characters before line break' to 9 (Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids)
- set option 'hyphenate without inquiry' to TRUE
- write a phrase with a word of more than 9 characters requiring hyphenation at the end of a line
- make sure that 'Hyphenation / Automatically' is set to FALSE in Format > Paragraph > Text Flow
- then click Tools > Language > Hyphenation
- the word will be hyphenated, not taken into account that 9 characters should have remained before the linebreak

When you repeat the test with 'hyphenate without inquiry' set to FALSE, then the presented hyphenation suggestion is in accord with the options.

Note also that when the hyphenation behaviour is configured on the level of each individual paragraph (Format > Paragraph > Text Flow) this works fine.

Workarounds: setting 'hyphenate without inquiry' to FALSE or configure hyphenation per paragraph
Comment 1 Jeffrey 2011-08-22 06:19:47 UTC 
Confirmed for LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) on OpenSuse Linux.
Comment 2 sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-02 05:11:13 UTC 
reproducible in 3.3.4 on Fedora 64 bit, but in 3.5.0 I can not force Writer to hypenate at least something
Please, verify in last version of LibreOffice. It my be regression
Comment 3 Christopher Yeleighton 2012-03-25 11:14:17 UTC 
Confirmed
LibreOffice 3.4.2 
OOO340m1 (Build:1206)
Comment 4 olddeath 2012-12-05 17:24:19 UTC 
Confirmed for v3.6.4.3 under Win7 x64.

More easy way to reproduce:

* Set your settings as follows:
– Chars before hyphen: 4
– Chars after hyphen: 4
– Min hyphen word length: 7

* Now open a large document (I am using a German one, but that should not make any difference)
* Use Tools >> Language >> Hyphenation and let it auto-hyphenate the entire document.
* There will be a lot of places where words are separated ignoring the chars before and chars after settings.

Note that when manually going threw all hyphens using Tools >> Language >> Hyphenation, the bug does not occur. (e.g. It does show the words it would otherwise hyphenate disregarding the settings but it does not show where they could be theoretically hyphenated.)
Comment 5 sasha.libreoffice 2012-12-06 04:47:11 UTC 
Thanks for additional testing
"Version" is most early version of LO where bug found, not current version
Changing back to 3.3.4 release

Comment 9 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2017-08-15 08:05:06 UTC 
I guess this option should be removed as hyphenation is defined at paragraph style level.

Best regards. JBF

Dear Joachim Nuyttens,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
