<pre>Description:
In French, typography rules add a non-breaking space before so-called
double-punctuation signs (!?:;). Consequently, autocorrection abbreviations
like
:1/2: to produce ½ do not work, because the space is inserted before the
treatment of the abbreviation.
Work around: I replaced these abbreviation using a comma as the ending
character in the DocumentList.xml file within the archive file acor_fr-CH.dat
in the configuration folder, autocorr subfolder - for me, it is
/home/<my-user-name>/.config/libreoffice/4/user/autocorr/
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer, document using French and autocorrection on
2. Type :1/2:<spaceY
Actual Results:
3. It produces :1/2<non-breaking-space>: )
Expected Results:
It should procude a ½ character
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This is just a collision between the choice of a system of abbreviations in
autocorrection and the rules of French typography.</pre>
