| Summary | 0002076: Hard (non-breaking) space does not work after a dash "-". | ||||
| Description | Please take a look at the original bug report in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=297164. In short a short dash "-" breaks the functioning of the non-breaking space introduced by "ctrl+space". | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create a text frame. Type in several words spaced with a non-breaking space. Put in a couple of dashes - one after a word and another as a separate word. Open the properties palette. Slowly decrease the text frame width and watch how the words get broken up and moved into the next line character by character until a word located after a hard space located after a dash is encountered. That entire word is moved to the next line instead of being moved character by character. Yell "bug!". Done. | ||||

Hmm, very difficult, as the dash "-" is recognized as a place where a hyphenation is possible. So if you write (_ replaces the hard space) "Test-_case" the textrender thinks you want to hyphenate after the word Test. A possible fix would be to introduce a "Do not hyphenate" flag for the character. Not sure how to implement this yet. |

Franz, I might be really off here, but I thought that the whole idea of a non-breaking (hard) space was to say "Don't hyphenate here!". People don't usually introduce non-breaking spaces after a hyphen unless the want it not breaking. What problems do you think it would create if you introduced a conditional check into your line breaking code that would use a non-breaking space as a flag to override hyphenation? |
|
|
This is really starting to push the boundaries of the current file format and starting to require the new one and new renderer code. |
|
|
I don't think hard spaces have anything to do with the file format. The change would have to be in the text frame rendering code, nowhere else as I see it. |
|
|
Its difficult because typing "-" Dash and then a non-breaking space is a bit crazy as they introduce contrary commands. Q** handles this situation by placing a smart hyphen before the word you want not to be hyphenated. Quite crude solution in my thinking. |
|
|
I think the format should use ߫ which is a hyphenation point char for formatting only, and then the hyphenator puts in the correct char if it needs on.. which would be �AD; I think. |

Fixed by implementing a Non-breakable Dash. |
