<pre>Description:
In Word Count dialogue, there is a "Words" count section.
It counts English text for words without symbols while it counts Chinese text
for characters AND symbols.
In Chinese text we have 2 counting ways: one to count Chinese characters and
symbols, and the other to count only Chinese characters (no symbols). The
previous one method counting Chinese symbols is much more popular in press.
So when we are counting a text document including Chinese text and English
text, we add the Word count of English (not counting symbols) and the Word
count of Chinese (either counting symbols or not) together.
The "Words" count in LibreOffice now uses the first method above to count
English "words" and "Chinese characters and Chinese symbols." I think that is
confusing because we see "phonogram words" equal to "Chinese characters."
"Words count" should be divided into
1. Words => be corrected by only counting words and Chinese characters.
2. Words and Chinese symbols => the method we use for Words count now.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Copy paste "Hello, world! 世界，你好！"
3. Select Tools > Word Count to see the stats
Actual Results:
1. Words: 8
2. Characters including spaces: 20
3. Characters excluding spaces: 18
4. Asian characters and Korean syllables: 6
Expected Results:
In "Hello, world! 世界，你好！" sentence, there are 2 English words (Hello world), 4
Chinese characters (世界你好), 4 symbols (,!，！), 2 Chinese symbols (，！) and 2
spaces.
1. Words: 6 => Should be corrected as "Words" not including symbols
2. Words and Chinese symbols: 8 => What the Words count method now
3. Words and symbols: 10
4. Characters including spaces: 20
5. Characters excluding spaces: 18
6. Asian characters and Korean syllables: 6
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
