reproduced in 3.6.0 master on Fedora 64 bit do you still see this bug in recent 4.0.5 or 4.1.1 LibO releases? Bug is still present in Version 4.1.1.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) on Ubuntu 12.04. The misbehaviour is unchanged from the original bug report, even in a freshly created document. The ZWSP partial work-around continues to work. |

Created attachment 55064 [details] Example of soft hyphen being ignored in cross-reference in paragraph 2 but ZWSP being honoured in cross-reference in Paragraph 4. This bug is also present in 3.5.0 Beta2. Problem description: When a cross-reference is inserted as a reference, soft hyphens in the text being referenced are ignored. Steps to reproduce: 1. In a new paragraph, enter string of letters and digits long enough to cause a line wrap. 2. Insert a soft-hyphen, e.g. by ctrl/-, so that the text only breaks at that point. 3. Create a new, empty paragraph with the same styling as the paragraph at Step 1. 4. Select text entered at steps 1 and 2, and create a reference by insert, cross-reference, set-reference, entering a name, and clicking insert in the dialogue box. 5. Create a cross-reference in the new, empty paragraph by insert, cross-reference, choosing Reference in 'Insert reference to', selecting the name from Step 4 and clicking insert in the dialogue box. Observed behaviour: The cross-reference text breaks not at the location of the optional hyphen, but when the cross-reference text reaches the end of line. This is observed in both the writer display and in exported PDF. An example of what is saved in content.xml is the following: <text:p text:style-name="P1"><text:reference-mark-start text:name="testing"/>verylongstringpt1verylongstringpt2<text:reference-mark-end text:name="testing"/></text:p> <text:p text:style-name="P1"><text:reference-ref text:reference-format="text" text:ref-name="testing">verylongstringpt1verylongstringpt2</text:reference-ref></text:p> There is a soft hyphen in the reference definition (between 'pt1' and 'very'), in the first paragraph, but not in the cross reference (the second paragraph). Correct behaviour: The text of the cross-reference should both break at the point of the soft hyphen rather than between letters and digits. Remark: This problem does not occur with zero-width spaces. They are stored in their own text:span elements, and the ZWSP (U+200B) character occurs within a text:span element in the cross-reference. (This partial work-around is more difficult to apply in 3.5.0 beta2 because ZWSP no longer appears on the insert, formatting mark menu. Not all keyboards include ZWSP.)
