Hyphenation doubles characters in Calc

[Felix Möller]

Hyphenation does not work correctly with words that contain a -. The letter in front of that is doubled.

I am using 3.6.1~rc2-1ubuntu5.

apport-collect 1051955 tells me there is nothing to collect.

I attach a video shortly. However, I think the screenshot shows the problem allready well.

can't reproduce. also can't get the cell to wrap on the -
i turned on wrap text and hyphen support, can't get it to wrap like in the video

Marked as confirmed, as opening the attached ods file illustrates the problem: the cell contents editing textbox show IT-Consultant, while the cell content shows ITT-Consultant. (Using libreoffice Version 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:101)))

[Felix Möller (felix-derklecks)]

This bug is not present upstream. I just tested upstream Version 3.6.2.1 (Build ID: ba822cc).

[Felix Möller (felix-derklecks)]

The bug must be introduced by Ubuntu. It is in Ubuntu Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)) as well.

Calc doesn't handle all alternative hyphenation patterns of the recent hyphenation dictionaries. Catalan, Hungarian, maybe recent Dutch, Norwegian, Sweden.

Catalan „paral·lel” -> bad „parall=lel”, instead of „paral=lel”
Hungarian „asszonnyal” -> bad „az=szoy=nyal”, instead of „asz=szony=nyal”

This is the root of the following problem, too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1051955 (depends from the version of the hyphenation patterns and LibreOffice).

IT-department -> ITT=department, instead of „IT=department”

Fixed in upstream 4.1.0, released with saucy.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Marking this as verification-failed as per upstream bug comment https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71749#c8. This is not specific to this bugfix -- its the generic 4.0.2->4.0.4 update that is hit by this. So marking this as -failed to drop the SRU.
