End-of-line comma misbehaving in Writer 4.2.7.2 (Build 420m0) on Linux Mint 17

When I try at the end of a line to write a comma right after a word (such as "here,") the comma won't stay with the word but instead be moved to the beginning of the next line
(like "this
  ,")

This did not happen to me with earlier versions of Writer.

What am I missing? How can I remedy this quirk?

Thx.

Hi John,

I tried this in 4.4.0.3, the latest "fresh" release. No probs.

Is it possible you can upgrade? Alternatively, a sentence/paragraph which recreates the problem would be helpful. I just kept adding characters until I hit eol and the whole word was moved to the next line.

I am on Fedora BTW.

Cheers

Hi :slight_smile:
It sounds like renaming the User Profile might be the best plan! I'm
guessing the problem just kinda suddenly started sometime and hadn't been
happening before? It's a weird problem that shouldn't be happening. Both
those things kinda point to it being the User Profile.

Might hopefully help by "getting back to factory defaults"

I must've done a mistype when I'd tried to append the comma to the last word on the line.
Indeed, when I went back to the text I am working on, the problem suddenly disappeared, like
it had solved itself... So, my bad.

Thank you, Brian, Tom and Tim.
