Re: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 27901] - TextCharIterator.remove() does not work properly

Ich bin confused--ist chz (sacl@gmx.de)--Christian
Geisert oder anderer Christian?  The bugzilla entry
lists chz as being "Christian Z", so I'm not sure whom
I'm speaking with!

That business logic is I believe already handled in
another class (FOBlock? I believe--the one calling the
current iterators), so these iterators are for actual
space removal in the Western sense.  (Of course, what
you mention may need tuning/fixing in FOBlock as
well.)

If the language has no space (Japanese, or Thai I
guess) then this particular portion, of whitespace
removal is not relevant I would guess--I think
dictionaries are needed for hyphenation, not space
removal, no?

So we shouldn't all be running around with multiple e-mail
identities ?

My excuse is, I used that e-mail address years ago when I opened
my first Bugzilla account.

I don't know the whole context the FOText class is used, so if it's only
used for space removal -- then of course you've nothing to do in Thai
and therefore limited use for changing. :-)
