<pre>I installed 7.0.4.2 and see the same behavior for the word "f?lower", where ?
designates U+200C. Spell check flags it.
However, I now realize that my belief that "fl" with no insertion was a
ligature is incorrect--a perception from a screen of insufficient resolution.
A Help query about "ligature" comes up empty; and ligatures are not listed
among Autocorrect features. I do not see a ligature arise from typing "flower".
So I wonder whether LO ever produces a ligature automatically. If not, my
reason for inserting a zero-width character evaporates, taking my complaint
with it.</pre>
