Don't break before a note reference marker

[MikeTO]

Publisher will break a paragraph before a note reference marker which should never happen. I don't think this has been reported before but I could be wrong.

I can work around this by inserting a zero width joiner but that requires checking my document for this issue.

Hi @MikeTO,

I've no doubt you are correct but I'm struggling to get the exact workflow to show the issue.  If you could give me a set of steps to follow, I'll get this logged with the Developers, as it doesn't look like this is logged or come up before

Do you have a space before the number? This is the only way I can get this to happen. Or it may be something with the particular font you have for that paragraph and or number.

@stokerg I wish I'd taken a screenshot of it because I can't reproduce it now so it's more complex than I thought. I went through all the notes in the book and couldn't identify which one it might have been, but I think I've found the cause even if I can't reproduce the issue in the same way.

Look at how Publisher hyphenates the word "infant" in test1.afpub (first screenshot). The min suffix is 2 and it's breaking at 1 so I assume the hyphenation code might be considering the period, quotation mark, and reference as part of the word length. You'd have to increase Min Suffix to 7 to stop it from breaking this way, and that makes sense because t."123 is 6 characters.

Likewise, if you reduce the note starting number from 123 to 1, it would break this way until you increase min suffix to 5 because t."1 is 4 characters.

In test2.afpub (second screenshot), the same problem will occur without using quotation marks and min suffix set to 3.

I assume this is the same bug as I was reporting, but I can't find a word that will break at the period instead of before it.

Hi @MikeTO,

Just to let you know this has now been logged with the Developers

@stokerg I'm not entirely sure but this post might be a report of the same bug. Please let me know if I should post a separate bug report for it.

Thanks
