[Libreoffice] [MacOS] Horizontal cursor positioning in justified text

2011-12-21 Thread James C
Hello All, Justified text changes the kerning (space between letters) of words on a line. The cursor positioning in writer seems to assume, falsely, that all of the adjustment happens in the spaces between words. So the cursor ends up in the middle of, or on the wrong side of, letters. This mat

Hello All, Thank you for your help to get me started. I have a build of libreoffice which is good enough to exercise at least one of my itches. I submitted a patch with git send-email. I presume that it is awaiting moderation. On the way to confirming that, I had various behaviour from trying
