郝龍斌前市長在後方 ('Former mayor Hao Longbin in the rear/far behind the frontline')

Why is 前市長在後方 treated as *one* ambiguous string?
I would have expected*di two ambiguous strings: 前市長+在後方

Interestingly, Google Translate manages to translate this string fully correctly:
'Hao Longbin former mayor in the rear'
I guess both 前市長 and 在後方 are individual entries in their database (both would also be candidates for our oncoming user dictionary).
What's more, GT must have a powerful Chinese name dictionary.

OK, but why is 前市長在後方 treated as *one* ambiguous string by Morpheus?
Is this because two ambiguous strings (前市長+在後方) are "added up" to become one string?

mmm, there have to be two separated segments, 前市長+在後方. So, that is incorrect segmenting, I am afraid. I'll look at a code later

Could you find out what triggered this strange behavior?
