Bug ID: 91032
Summary: Writer: text remaining after deletion elsewhere
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.8.2 release

Status: UNCONFIRMED

Part of screen, showing artifactual text.
When I replace a part of a one- or two-line paragraph with a shorter text, at
least sometimes the right end of the old line is still present past the new end
of the line. In the uploaded file, the "zen - Cold32.com]" and the
"ile-frozen.htm]" on the right are artifacts of having replaced part of the old
text with a shorter text. I can get the artifact to disappear simply by
pressing PageUp or PageDown till it's out of sight and then coming back, but
that's because I'm geeky enough to try that. I'm not sure if this fault is due
to Writer itself or if it has to do with screen redraw, but it rarely or never
occurs in various other programs I use on the same platform.
This affects mainly newbies and non-tech-savvy users, who would be confused and
wonder why the word processor is duplicating text on the right, especially
since it can't be selected, since the insertion point won't enter the duplicate
text. For a geek like me, it's just an annoyance, but for nongeeks it looks
broken, not a good introduction if we want to overtake Microsoft Office/Word.
If a newer version of Writer has fixed this, that's good enough. The version
I'm reporting on has still been getting updated even after reputedly being at
EOL.
I guessed my hardware.
