Hyphen and Apostrophe

Not a big deal, but this is bothering me:

Automatic hyphenation is on, and the word "Fanon" gets hyphenated as "Fan-on." Perfect. But when I add an apostrophe/s, the hyphen disappears and the entire word, "Fanon's," gets bumped to the next line.

This does not happen in NeoOffice, and I do not know why.

Any ideas?

Two words, word length. This is set in Format> Styles and Formatting> Paragraph Style. On the Text flow tab you can set the Hyphenation for that paragraph style.
