Normally after inserting three dashes "---" and pressing enter they will repleaced by a horizontal line/rule. (This works until LibreOffice 4.0) In LibreOffice 4.1 the autocorrection replaces the two of the three dashes with a long dash and a short dash remains. Writer cannot see the three dashes anymore and does not replace it with a horizontal line. If i disable autocorrection or delete the rule to replace "--" with a long dash the function to insert a horizontal line with three dashes works well.
Thanks Papamatti :)! Confirmed, tested using Windows 8 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 2382b8e8ec0ea65dc2a9ad1c401abe3be35a1487 TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch:master, Time: 2013-08-02_23:15:16
Inserting three equal signs (===) cannot replaced by double horizontal line either
When I last tested LO 4.2 DEV, horizontal line worked correctly. Please check the newest master build and inform developers here about solution in new branch.
Test with Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 935f1f61cbe112b1cf1ab95bae9dfcb42b4fdb5e I can reproduce with --- I do NOT reproduce with ===
(In reply to comment #2) > Inserting three equal signs (===) cannot replaced by double horizontal line > either Actually, with ===, border exists but is almost invisible. I opened a new bug as it is different from this one: bug 71740 This bug (with ---) is due to the fact that since LibO 4.1, '-' is recognized as word separator in AutoCorrection. So, the 3rd '-' launches AutoCorrection of "--" in "–".
