Use this to test. Word count SHOULD read 5 words. It doesn't.

Word count treats citations as words. For example, the text (89) or (7) are treated as words.

What do you mean with citations? In the attached file there are five words written with letters and a two-digit number in parentheses. I can only assume you meant to say that a digit or a group of digits in parentheses should not be counted as a word. However, I can't see the logic behind this claim. How about letters in parentheses, or digits outside of parentheses? If these are counted as words, why should digits in parentheses be treated differently?

On the other hand, this issue may be related to bug 55359 – perhaps even a duplicate?

Marked as a duplicate, because the discussion seems to continue under bug 55359.
