Dear vaaydayaasra, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

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.
