Description Robert M Campbell 2013-10-29 12:10:29 UTC

Go to any Lao website, such as laosabbathschool.com. Lao text keeps going on and on until there is a space (Lao does not use spaces as word delimeters, but similar to punctuation.)

Lao text should split words like the ICU 52.1 system now can do... (This is very similar to Thai / Khmer word wrapping / boundary analysis.)

Can you all update LibreOffice to include the latest ICU 52.1? I am running Ubuntu, so I would think it would notice my locally installed ICU, but it doesn't. Also, there are loads of other systems that could benefit from this code as well.

This is Apache OpenOffice...

Sorry about that mis-type! I simply copied-and-pasted from a similar bug for LibreOffice and forgot to change the name over. Working on filing related bugs with several programs which need it.

It's done in LibreOffice. The main thing needed was updated support for ICU 52.1 (next month ICU 53.1 is released).
