AutoSuggest doesn't include optional breaks

Question

Hello, 
 I recently noticed AutoSuggest ability in auto-filling target segment, does not include any optional breaks originally present in the translation memory. What should I do?

Hi Poorya Zeynalzadeh

Just to close this one off... we resolved as follows:

added a zero width optional break quick insert to the word filetypes using the windows character map. This helps with all future work as now the correct space can be used
replaces all the optional hyphens in the existing TM with a zero width optional break by exporting to TMX, search and replaced, upgrade back to SDLTM. So, search for this:

<bpt i="\d+" type="x-TextPlaceholderOptionalHyphen" />¬<ept i="\d+" />

Replace with a copy pasted zero width no break character

Hi Poorya Zeynalzadeh , 
 
You could tell us what version of Studio you are using and where the autosuggest result is being drawn from (termbase, TM, autosuggest dictionary, fragment matching...)? If you can provide some sample text showing what you get and what you expect this would also be useful.

Hi Poorya Zeynalzadeh , 
 
Can you also give me the following (it's tricky for me...) 
 
1. What's the source language (incl. variant)? 
2. What's the target language (incl. variant)? 
3. Confirm that the space you are showing is actually an optional break in the word you want to get? 
4. Provide a small text in a word file I can use to test 
5. Preferably provide a TM if possible? 
 
You can send these to pfilkin@sdl.com if it's ok. 
 
Thanks
