This is only a workaround. I am a friend of usability. You cannot expect
average user's to find out this workaround themselves (maybe they will find
this bug issue here having searched the Internet for a longer time; if they do
an Internet search at all). For average users, this behaviour is a bug.
<span class="quote">> So my proposal is to delete "z.B." from the list of exceptions and add "B."

My proposal to resolve this issue is to add all German abbreviations which
contain a space character between their letters (like "z. B.", "d. h.", "i. A."
and so on) to the internal German word list of LO. So that this list contains
both versions of each of these abbreviations, one with a space character, one
without the space character.
Because there are still a lot of people writing German abbrevations without
that space character. Because they are not yet familiar with the respective
German grammar rule, or they do not want to respect this rule.
<span class="quote">> Jens, if you agree, please confirm it and change status to NEW</span >
I would change this issue to NEW to get this issue hopefully resolved in a way
which I described above, but I don't dare.</pre>
