LO 4.2.4_not hyphenated

Description of the bug
All words marked in yellow in the example-file should be hyphenated automatically after the prefix. This means: vor-, ent-, ver-, er-. All versions of LO 3.3 – 4.1.6 demonstrate this correct behavior.
But in version LO 4.2.4.2 some punctuation marks (like comma, exclamation mark, question mark, semicolon, colon) following the word which should be hyphenated prevent its hyphenation. The same problem also in 4.3-beta1 under Windows 7.

Configuration of the hyphenation module (German LO)
Optionen > Linguistik und Absatzvorlage > Textfluss:
Silbentrennung: automatisch
Minimale Wortlänge für Silbentrennung: 4
Zeichen am Zeilenende: 2
Zeichen am Zeilenanfang: 2
Maximal aufeinander folgende Trennstellen: 0

The above mentioned problem occurs under Windows (tested Windows XP/7) and other operation systems. Compare also the following thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@de.libreoffice.org/msg17402.html

How to reproduce this bug?
Open the example-file. If you delete the punctuation marks after the word marked in yellow you can see the word is suddenly hyphenated correctly. The space is great enough for hyphenation.

I think there is a connection between this new bug and another bug fixed in LO 4.2.4:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56392

Please fix this new bug as soon as possible. In my opinion this bug is annoying because it implies unwanted changes for the layout of complex documents.

Regards
Karl

Comment 4 Dr. Matthias Weisser 2014-05-28 17:13:01 UTC
I can confirm this bug. I sent my text where those problems happen to Karl Zeiler. He had a look on this and built this example. 

I wrote a 740 page book using earlier versions of OO and then LO. Doing the last update the text went longer than before. I found this related to alterated hyphenation. To correct this I manually changed my text on several pages. Doing "soft hyphen" using "Einfügen weiches Trennzeichen" works.

I hope this helps solving this as soon as possible. Its very time consuming having a look at all my texts before using pdf export for my customers. It was ok before. Nothing changed - with except of the new LO version. Still WinXP, still the same laptop. 

Others also seem to be able to confirm. See discuss list "LO 4.2.4.2: Bug mit automatischer Silbentrennung". Robert Grosskopf confirmed, Michael Höhne, Volker Merschmann. I hope this helps.

Confirmed, marked as NEW.

Added László Németh to CC List.

BTW: You can force auto-hyphenation with WORD JOINER (U+2060) previous to the punctuation marks (see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56392#c7).
