PGS hates hyphening words between '' or "". So a word like 'panorama' or "panorama" will not be hyphened, but the word panorama will be.

In my Dutch hyphen file I have the correct place where a word should be hyphened (with the buttons Find and Break), but PGS thinks otherwise.

The offending words I found so far (not much, but strange behaviour):
original
filmmaatschappijen
filmprint

correct hyphen (PGS also)
film~maat~schap~pijen
film~print

PGS hyphens in document (wrong)
filmmaatschapp~ijen
filmp~rint

I now use a soft hyphen to correct this behaviour.

I must say that in 99 % of the time (maybe even better!), PGS hyphens correct!

This doesn't seem to be related to quotes. The words listed, between quotes or not, break in document incorrectly. However, I think they break correctly in define hyphenation. It might be that it is breaking with the wrong language in text? Not sure. Needs more testing. If you have any ideas let me know.

You're right! It has nothing to do with quotes...
It's another feature.

It has something to do with the first character being a capital!
...panorama will hyphen good, but Panorama doesn't!?
Although Define Hyphenation, Find, will hyphen Panorama and panorama good (although Panorama wil be shown as pa~no~ra~ma - no capital).

BTW: the language is Nederlands, all the way...

Ok, two things. The hyphenation of capitalized words is controlled in Set Hyphenation. This is normal expected behavior and not a bug.


The bug however is related to hyphenating words with automatic ligatures! Filmprint will break in Define Hyphenation properly, but in text with automatic ligatures on will place the break at filmp~rint instead of film~print.

Just a remark: the word Panorama isn't capitalized, only the first character is a capital (and doesn't hyphen, and the word panorama does). And why will panorama be hyphened and Panorama not?

The bug however:
Indeed, when automatic ligatures is on, some of the words hyphens strangely.
When automatic ligatures is off, the word hyphens according my Dutch hyphen file.
Nice detective work!

(Hyphenate uppercase can be enabled in Set Hyphenation)

Ligature shifting hyphenation points fixed.
