Problem description:

(I hope I am not hijacking this bug with another problem here. That said, I've changed the name of it from "EDITING: Bug in Count number")

So, the problem seems to be that interpunction, when standing separated from words by line breaks and (unprotected!) spaces, is counted as words.
For example, the text

! . –

is counted as three words.

I can reproduce this behaviour on LibreOffice 4.0 beta 1, Windows 8

WORKSFORME
OSX 10.9.4, LO 4.3.0.4

Open writer, enter "Testing one two! Test?"
-> LO says: 4 words. SUCCESS! :)

Should this persist for you with LO 4.3.0.4 or above please reopen with more info.

Also works under Win8.1.

I tested this expression:
"! . –"  -> 2 words

I tested with:
"Testing one two! Test?" ---> 4 words

It is ok like that?
