Description Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2013-11-17 07:47:39 UTC 
Every spinner in LibreOffice’s UI should have an space before the unit’s symbol (except for °), even before %. Scribus does this (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/Scribus-1.3-Linux.png)

Right now, LibreOffice shows units and values like this:

        NOW       SHOULD BE
      [ 35cm ]    [ 35 cm ]
      [ 24in ]    [ 24 in ]
      [ 35%  ]    [ 35 %  ]
but
      [ 245° ]    [ 245°  ]

Of course, this is language-dependent. (I’m thinking of Basque and Turkish, both languages write percentages with the symbol before the value, like: %34)

Oh yeah! Caolán not only cherry-picked Apache commits, but also modified them to allow ICU to format the units in a locale-aware way. Awesome work! :-)

Still need to test this out…
