            Bug ID: 130721
           Summary: non-breaking space looks ugly when justified, naming
                    mix up
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikolajmm at gmail.com

tl;dr: non-breaking space looks ugly and it's typographic issue.

Explanation

There are few things about non-breaking space (ctrl+shift+space) in LibreOffice
Writer, and it's even not clear to me where the bug exists: in behavior, used
name, or translation.

As far as I know there are few types of spaces:
- non-breaking space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space
- hard space: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_space
- soft space (seen on wiki Hard space but do not understand)

I do not know how Polish names match English names here:
- "spacja niełamiąca" (literally non-breaking space): is a space which does not
allow to break the words between the paragraphs, but is stretched in justified
text in the same way as normal space,
- "twarda spacja" (literally hard space): it's "spacja niełamiąca" but it has
constant width even in justified text,

so if the name meaning explained above are the same in both languages then:
    (bug) In LibreOffice non-breaking space behaves as hard space

else if non-breaking space means the same as "twarda spacja" then:
    (feature request) it would be awesome to have the "spacja niełamiąca"
implemented in LibreOffice, so people are able to write properly looking
documents.
