    Hi_all,

    This_started_yesterday!

    My_system_seems_to_be_working_fine,_but_when_I_write_any_mail_on_online_forums_like_here_(&_Ubuntu_forums)_ALL_the_spaces_between_words_get_replaced_with_asterisks_causing_anyone_trying_to_read_them_to_have_a_brain_aneurysm._See_below.
    Using_underscore_is_the_only_way_of_making_this_legible.

    I_was_able_to_write_in_OOo_&_cut_&_paste_across_yesterday,_but_today_that_option_seems_to_have_disappeared_and_even_there_the_spaces_have_disappeared.

    This_problem_is_only_visible_when_I_do_a_preview,_ But_fixing_it_in_the_preview_doesn't_help.

    I'm_at_a_loss_to_know_where_to_begin._I*was*playing*around*with*languages*on*my*system*the*other*day *due*to*the*mess*that*is*I_think)*the*setup*for*autocorrect*in*Writer.*

    Thoughts?_and_SORRY!

    Very odd! Feel sorry for you :) Have you tried fiddling with your keyboard's preferences? The old faithful reboot? Unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in?

    what happens if you open gedit, write a bit, save, close, then re-open?
