            Bug ID: 139224
           Summary: words with zero-width non-joiners are marked as
                    spelling errors
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: doug at cs.dartmouth.edu

Description:
Splitting a ligature by inserting U+200C (zero width non-joiner) causes the
word to be marked as a spelling error. This is understandable, but not helpful
for spelling.

Comment: the marking does warn that the word will contain garbage if saved as
.txt. That behavior on saving also seems unhelpful. Neither behavior is
WYSIWIG.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Times New Roman font type "flower box"
2.Split the "fl" ligature by inserting U+200C
3.Click the cursor on "box"

Actual Results:
1. screen looks normal
2. screen looks normal
3. "flower" is marked as a misspelling

Expected Results:
No change in screen. 




Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
