Summary | 0007154: Double spaces at end of sentence can line break between the two spaces | ||||
Description | When sentences are ended with two spaces before the next sentence and a line break occurs at the end of the sentence, the next line has a space appear before the first letter. This is regularly reproduced regardless of the punctuation (., ?, !). If you type in more spaces then the line break occurs after the first space and additional spaces appear at the beginning of the next line. If you type a non-breaking space after the period and then a normal space, you get correct line breaking with the next sentence starting with the first letter. The line break algorithm should look for the next "non space" and make that the first character of the next line regardless. | ||||

While this is probably still a bug, I feel I have to note that a double-space between sentences is a leftover from the typewriter days and is considered bad practice in DTP. |

The issue is partially fixed now in 135svn legacy mode, ie the old layout engine. A complete fix has been made in the new layout code (which is not activated yet). |
