Description Stefan Knorr (astron) 2014-06-07 11:19:03 UTC
To reproduce in LibreOffice 4.2,
1. Open LibreOffice
2. Go to Tools > Options,
3. Open the page Language Settings/Languages.
4. If under Default Languages for Documents, the option Asian is disabled,
   enable it. If it is already enabled, continue with step 7.
5. Close the options by clicking OK.
6. Go to Tools > Options again.
7. Open the page Language Settings/Asian Layout.
8. Look for the two options under Kerning:
   + the first one uses the phrase "Western characters"
   + the second one uses "Western text"
   > This is inconsistent.

The help entry reads:
  Kerning
    Defines the default settings for kerning between individual characters.

    Western characters only
      Specifies that kerning is only applied to western text.
    Western text and Asian punctuation
      Specifies that kerning is applied to both western text and Asian
      punctuation.

I.e. there does not seem to be a difference in meaning => both options should use the words "Western text".

Not sure why this report has been unconfirmed for so long. IMO options should read:

- Western text only
- Western text and Asian punctuation

Confirmed. Status set to NEW.

Is it a clipping issue?
