Bug Description
In the attached screenshot, I’ve written an English sentence with an Arabic word in the middle on the first row of a Calc sheet. On the second row, I’ve written the same Arabic word (العربية) by itself. The second row looks as it should but on the first row, some of the characters overlap. The same problem occurs if I surround the isolated Arabic word with parentheses, in which case the cell is automatically aligned to the left. I’m using the default font settings, which in my environment are Liberation Sans for Latin text and DejaVu Sans for Arabic.
