Enhancement request. Yes, It is helpful to Khmer Language. please help! -Men Chomneau The ICU BreakIterator creates chaos for minority languages written in Khmer script, since it inserts line breaks at all the wrong places, even when the text has been typed with ZWSP between words. This simple option would fix the problem, if LibreOffice reverted to the pre version 3.6.0 behavior of line breaking only at ZWSP, space, and punctuation. Hi Khaled, do you know if there is any reason to keep this RFE in unconfirmed status? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards. JBF I know very little about this area of LibreOffice, but as an enhancement request there is no need to mark it as unconfirmed. |

Problem description: Currently for languages that have no spaces (like Thai and Khmer), the ICU breakiterator is turned on and cannot be turned off without changing code within LibreOffice. Since the breakiterators for both languages are not 100% accurate, this can cause problems for users that want precise control of word-breaks for spelling and line-breaks and would rather input zero-width spaces manually. Desired behavior: Add an additional check-box option to turn off/on the ICU breakiterator in Options->Language Settings->Complex Text Layout if the current CTL language has the option for using the ICU breakitorator Default should be enabled.
