Comment 4 for bug 1793127

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. The problem only occurs in Calc, not Writer.

This problem was first reported for LO 6.0.3.2 on Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1793127 . Another user there confirmed the bug for LO 6.0.3.2 and 6.1.1.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a LTR Calc cell, write some text in English, then Arabic and then English.

Actual Results:
Some of the letters of the Arabic text overlap.

Expected Results:
Arabic should look the same as in an RTL context.

Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
