Title:
Diacritical marks become visible only after changing view in Writer
Status in LibreOffice:
Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Arabic is sometimes written with diacritical vowel marks, which are
placed either above or below each letter of the word. Many
multipurpose fonts, which are not designed specifically for Arabic,
place some of these marks in the empty space between lines, outside of
the space reserved for line height. Writing Arabic in LibreOffice
Writer, these marks don't become visible while typing but only after
the page view has changed once.
See the attached series of screenshots, where the first screenshot has
been taken while typing. The first letter of the first word (reading
from right to left) should have two diacritical marks: ء and a
diagonal line above the letter: أَ. Only the lower half of the ء mark
is visible and the diagonal line not at all. The second letter of the
same word has a circle on top of it but only the lower half of it is
visible. Equally so for the third word of the sentence بِبَرْنَامِجِ,
where the last letter of the word has a diagonal line below, but it is
not visible at all. The second screenshot has been taken after I
scrolled the page down by a couple of screens and then scrolled back.
Now all the diacritics are shown as they should. In the third
screenshot I have deleted all of the text I typed but as you can see,
some parts of the diacritics are still visible above the line. If I
scroll down and back, they would disappear. If you want to test it
yourself, the sentence I wrote reads "أَكْتُبُ هُنَا بِبَرْنَامِجِ
لِيبَرْ أُفِيسْ".
As a user, I would expect the diacritics to be visible as soon as I
type them, and for them to be removed from the screen immediately when
I delete the word.
