Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2011-09-19 10:18:44 UTC

In French, AutoFormat automatically inserts non-breaking spaces before quotation marks, interrogation/exclamation marks and semicolons. It should also add them before percent signs (%): the rule in French is that punctuation marks constituted of at least two parts should be separated from the preceding text by a (non-breaking) space.

Comment 1 Andras Timar 2011-10-24 02:03:05 UTC

fixed for LibreOffice 3.5

Comment 2 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2011-10-24 10:17:56 UTC

Great!

Comment 3 griffon9 2012-03-19 18:18:24 UTC

The correction breaks the user interface : no space should be inserted before a % sign because every time you key in a percentage value, the space is added and the cell gets a string value instead of a numeric (percentage) value.

It makes entering percentage in a cell a terrible experience (must go back to edit the cell content and remove the space sign)
