Bug #: 53399
Summary: word count inconsistent and wrong with non-breaking
space
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.0.4 release
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

word count test document
Non-breaking spaces are handles incorrectly by word count, giving wrong and
inconsistent results.
Recipe:
1. Open the attached document wordcount-sample.odt containing a text consisting
of 6 words. Word count is correct in this case, both, in the status line as
well as in the word count window (file wordcount-sample-1.png).
2. Replace the space between the fourth and fifth word with a non-breaking
space, but don't move the cursor (file wordcount-sample-2.png).
Inconsistent behaviour: Word count in status line switches to 4 whereas word
count in explicit windows switches to 5.
Wrong results: Both word counts are wrong as the number of words didn't
change.
3. Move the cursor (file wordcount-sample-3.png).
Wrong results: Word count in explicit windows now also switches to 4 and
'characters excluding spaces' decrease from 24 down to 16.
It looks like non-breaking spaces are treated like end-of-file markers by the
word count algorithm. Still, that doesn't explain why multiple inconsistent
word count statistics are displayed in status line and the explicit word count
window.
