Tested with LO on Fedora 21 and Archlinux for versions 4.4 and 4.3. Currently, we can (according to the documentation), add an automatic horizontal line when starting a line with 3 hyphens followed by enter. This functionality only works correctly for the first line of the page, and only with ASCII characters. Part 1: only works with the first line 1. create a new writer document; 2. type "---" and followed by enter; (Your cursor is now on a new empty line, and the previous line was turned into a horizontal line). 3. type enter again to blank another line; 4. type "---" followed by enter; (Your cursor is on the same line, which was turned into a horizontal line) 5. every new line by hitting enter is a horizontal line. The horizontal line should always work like with the first line of the document. Part 2: automatic horizontal line does not work with Chinese hyphens 1. create a new writer document; 2. type "－－－" followed by enter; 3. No horizontal line is created. When typing Chinese, creating an horizontal line forces the user to switch to an English keyboard layout, type the 3 hyphens, and then switch back to a Chinese IME to keep writing the document. The "Chinese hyphens" should be recognized for entering an automatic horizontal line.
(A symbol in question is U+FF0D fullwidth hyphen)
Please attach a simple document demonstrating the problem. Marking as NEEDINFO. Once you attach set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks

Part 1 has been fixed. Part 2 sounds like an enhancement. In Tools -> AutoCorrect Options -> Options tab, the Apply border is what changes the three hyphens to a border line. You would like to change it so that instead of using English hyphens, you can use Chinese hyphens. As a workaround, have you tried the following in the Replace tab of AutoCorrect: In the Replace box, type three Chinese hyphens and in the With box type three English hyphens (or copy and paste) and click on New. Now type three Chinese hyphens on a blank line and press Enter. If that doesn't work, you could try a combination of characters to use instead of the three Chinese hyphens. As an example, I replaced "jjj" with "---" and that worked. Windows Vista 64 Version: 4.4.3.2 Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16 Set to NEEDINFO.

@ Jiehong please answer to comment 5 before setting back status to UNCONFIRMED I'm reverting this to NEEDINFO
As per comment 5, part 1 is now fixed. Part 2 workaround, aka adding a rule for that "－－－" should insert "---", and therefore a horizontal line, does not work, as of Writer version 5.2.3.3. I thought that it's maybe limited to ascii combinations, so I tried "é"/"hello", but this works just fine. Then, trying with "我"/"wo", it doesn't work either. Therefore, it seems that the automatic replacement does not work for any Chinese characters.
