CTL text (Thai): Wrong line breaking when export to ms word
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Hi All, In writer, I set CTL Language to THAI. I create a new document and save to MS Word document format. when i use MS Word XP program to open the file, MS Word XP can not line breaking a thai text correctly. It do line breaking by space of each string and can not change or edit a locale too. Thank you.

Please attach such a Writer document (in .sxw format) to this issue, so that we can see what's happening when saving this to MS Word format. With western text this does not happen, so this could be interesting. Feel free to re-open the issue when you've done so. Thank you very much for supporting us
Hello, I send the example of THAI document and screenshot compare between Writer (1.1.0) and MS Word XP to you. Thank you.

MRU->SBA: does not look like a filter problem, more of font handling in Writer. Pls have a look.
SBA's now...
SBA: At first glance, this looks like a bug in Word because when the .doc file is opened again in OOo111, it looks as good as in the .sxw again. But this needs further investigation. First results: (1) When I travel wordwise (with <Ctrl> + <Arrow>) through the first line, it is "10 words" from Left to right, but 15 words in the other direction. This is (the or another?) bug. (2) Word has more paragraph alignment options. Set target OOo 2.0.
Hi SBA, In first result, I use THAI language and travel wordwise (with <Ctrl> + <Arrow>) , i found problem same you. this ploblem is bug of ICU and now i can fix it. I send this patch to you too. I think it can help you for solv your problem .

SBA->HIN: Thanks for the patch, but this is not the case here. We can not handle so-called "collective tasks". Please file a new issue, flag it "Issue type = patch", assign it to khong@openoffice.org, attach your patch and name the issue ID in here. Thanks. SBA->BH: This is a feature request for more text alignment options (needed for full CTL compatibility). Reassigned to BH.
Hello Falko, as no more text alignment options will be implemented in OO.o 2.0, target is set to OOo later. Please take over this issue. Thank you.
I had a look at the patch for ICU for the nextWord bug, but I couldn't convince myself that it was quite right. I made an alternative patch based on the code in ICU 3.0 and opened a separate issue (#33160).
The original problem in this bug of bad line-breaking is the same problem that was fixed in issue 42909, issue 46732 and issue 46087. The bug with wordwise movement was fixed in issue #29548. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 42909 ***
