Closing quotation marks incorrectly break onto the new line

[Interior Book Design]

I've spotted the following problem, see image:

(Sorry, I cannot upload the image. I try to type it:)

Behaviour in Publisher 2.4:

Er blickte mich mit seinen treuen Augen an und sagte: „Hallo!
“

How it should be and how it is in Publisher 1.10:

Er blickte mich mit seinen treuen Augen an und sagte: „Hallo!“

 

Bottom line: The closing (German) quotation mark incorrectly breaks after a full stop or exclamation mark ... which makes it extremly difficult to typeset special kinds of books such as novels.

This has been reported before. For example:

Hi @Interior Book Design,

Thanks for reporting this.

We do already have this logged with the Developers.  I've updated that report with a link back to this thread, so you'll get a notification from the Serif Info Bot when this has been resolved.

@walt.farrell afb-6879 was fixed a few builds back and a new Bug Report was created: AF-1036 which this issue fits under

Until this gets fixed, use No Break (Kein Umbruch) for ending punctuation and quotation marks as a workaround. As a shortcut you can create a text style for it.

Thanks, great proposal. Meanwhile, I've discovered the No Break option, already, and use it as a workaround.

Same problem - and no effect of using the workarounds suggested here (or in the previous thread regarding this bug). Where, exactly, do I find the "no break" option mentioned here?  The one in the "Text" main menu doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Another workaround that worked here is replacing all quotation marks by guillemets (« and »), which works fine for a book layout.
