Bug#856817: It breaks all Korean words end of colum.
Package: libreoffice-writer
Version: 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u5
Severity: important
Hi,
Version: 4.3.3.2
Build ID: 430m0(Build:2)
Hangul is Korean alphabet that writes Korean speaking words. Each word is
combination of individual Hanguls such as English words. The space or newline
are separators of each word.
Commercial Korean word processors understand it and handle Korean words as
basic unit that composes whole sentence. If the sentence is longer than maximum
column, it pushes down the last word to the following line without breaking the
word's structure.
LibreOffice-writer ignores cohesion of Korean word and breaks any Korean words
at the end of column. Because of it writing a book or serious document demands
manual formatting of each sentence, which is absurd.
I give an example. Suppose there are five Korean words - AAA to EE - at the end
of sentence. Position of the 2nd D in DDD exceeds maximum column width.
AA BB CC, DDD EE
(아주 급한 가속, 과도한 멈춤,)
A Korean word proccesor handles it as below:
AA BB CC,
DDD EE,
LibreOffice-writer breaks DDD into two wrong words "DD" and "D".
AA BB CC, D
DD EE,
Until LibreOffice-writer fixes this outstanding problem, LibreOffice as a whole
package won't be welcomed by Korean users on any operating system.
I partly understand why Korean version of LibreOffice-writer in such sorry
state. Firefox, Chrome have exact same problem. I think one capable developer
who knows Hangul can fix it quickly.
Regards,
