[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- Open Office 4.2 AOO420m1(Build:9800) - Rev. 1692551 The test file used is a bit of text from the Arabic Wikipedia article on ants. https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%86%D9%85%D9%84 Overall I managed to replicate the bug and find a variety of other failure related to highlighting Arabic. Note that the document I am using is in Saudi Arabian Arabic, with a DejaVu Sans font of size 14 to correspond with the screenshots provided. The first test performed was simply to check if highlighting the text and making it have a header style would cause the error, I had no success in replicating the error this way. The steps are: 1)Open the test document with open office 2)Select the entire paragraph 3)Go to format and click on “Styles and Formatting” 4)From this box select one by one all of the possible headings to see if bug occurs 5)On the far right of the screen click on the icon below the green cube to open the list of styles 6)With the text still selected, select each option one at a time to have the text switch to that style 7)Use the drop down list from the top left to select the available headings to switch the style of the text *NOTE: I have attached a screenshot of the GUI components I used to change the heading In response to the second claim, that it is just italicizing Arabic text that causes an issue I did managed to partially replicate the bug though much less catastrophically. The steps to replicate are: 1)Open the test document with open office 2)Select the entire paragraph 3)Italicize the paragraph through the large “I” on the top of the screen next to the underline and bold buttons. 4) There should appear a few white squares near the bottom of the text (See White Squares.png) In an effort to fully replicate the bug I performed a series of follow up tests. For each of the following tests I performed the steps being described, and then I would re-run the initial italicizing test. In the first follow up tests I changed the font from DejaVu Sans to other formats and found that the error would manifest itself differently for all other fonts. Instead of having certain characters turn into white squares the text appears to leave the margins (See Alternate Font.png). I then attempted to change to the font size of the text and found that different sizes change the amount and location of squares (See Alternate Size.png). I then attempted to replicate the steps again but this time change the language locale by going to the “Tools”, “Language”, “For all Text”, “More”. Then in “Locale setting” I changed it to one of the varieties of Arabic. This would change where and how many blank squares appeared on the screen (see Alternate Locale.png). The only other bug that I found similar to the problems with the margins was this: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=100940 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
