Bug ID: 162750
Summary: Formatting: Small-Caps Conflict with Font Ligature
Resulting in Hidden Characters
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)

example document with error descriptions
The font KJV1611 by ctrlcctrlv (downloadable from here:
https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/kjv1611) has quite a few extra features; one of
which (standard ligatures) is to automatically small-caps the latter parts of
the words "LORD", "GOD" and "JEHOVAH". However, I am noticing in 24.8.0.3, that
when typing the word "Lord" and setting the "Font Effects > Effects > Case" for
the last three characters to Small capitals, LibreOffice hides the
characters--not even giving them any width. The characters are still there as
searching for "lord" will still match the word, and the cursor seems to "hang"
when moving across them with the arrow keys, indicating that they are indeed
still there, just not displayed.
Steps to reproduce:
1 - Download and install the KJV1611 font from
https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/kjv1611
2 - Open the attached example document -> See the issue in the second set.
OR
2 - Switch the font to KJV1611.
3 - Type the word "Lord"
4 - Select the last three characters ("ord") and enable their small-caps font
effect.
I assume the reason for this error is that the manual application of the
small-caps effect is colliding somehow with the font's feature of automatically
applying small-caps to the word "LORD". I'm guessing this would also happen
with other fonts, but I don't know of any that have a similar feature to the
KJV1611 font.
Possibly Related:
Given ctrlcctrlv's git-hub page, it also seems that the endings of the
capitalized words "GOD" and "JEHOVAH" should also automatically be small-capped
(like "LORD" is). This is not currently happening, though I don't know if it is
related or if it's just a bug with the font (I kind of think they used to work,
but I don't remember exactly).
Severity:
For me, this is a big issue (as I have used this font for lots of documents),
but I doubt most users would ever notice it, so I just chose minor severity.
