Bug ID: 162205
Summary: RTL and LTR text rendered at vastly different
baselines in vertical-lr writing mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha1+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Screenshot of bug manifesting
To reproduce:
1. Create a new document
2. In, Format > Page... set "Text Direction" to "Left-to-Right (Vertical)"
(that actually sets the writing mode, not the text direction in the sense we're
used to; see bug 162200 about the terminology)
3. Type some RTL and LTR text, e.g. "Hello لوك goodbye" (note the two Arabic
letters with ascenders at the beginning and near the end of the word)
4. Scroll the page up and down, to account of the effect of any painting
glitches
Expected results:
The three words share the same (vertical) baseline and are thus aligned
Actual results:
The Arabic word is aligned almost a full line to the left of the English words.
You don't see most of it, and only the top edges of the ascenders are visible
(see screenshot)
Note: This is possibly one of the issues which underlie bug 50202 - although
there, the offset is in the opposite direction somehow.
