Problem description: Adding a comma into Hebrew text with diacritics causes
display corruption. The same happens when opening previously saved document
with such content (doesn't matter in which format it was saved).
It's a Windows-only bug, and not a recent one - I remember this happening back
in early OOo 3.x days.
After some research I've found that this happens only with fonts which don't
contain the letter 'b' (LATIN SMALL LETTER B) (In fact they don't contain any
Latin letters, because they're Hebrew-only fonts). So it's seems that LO have a
check for that letter anywhere in the code.
After adding that letter to the font (even an empty one), this bug goes away.
You can add an empty character to a font using FontForge by selecting the
letter 'b' and going through Metrics->Set Both Bearing. Unfortunately this
can't be done with non-free fonts due to legal restrictions, making them
unusable with LO.
I'm attaching a test document + screenshot of the bug. You can get the font
that used from: http://culmus.sourceforge.net/fancy/dorian.tar.gz
Operating System: Windows 7
