--- Comment #26 from Igx <jm.chall...@free.fr> ---
This week-end, I tested this bug on all my machines, and took advantage of this
to test before and after LibreOffice upgrade. That resulted in an insane number
of tests (38!) out of which I only found 1 new machine that had the bug.
Upgrading LibreOffice never changed anything.
Still, I had two similar machines (Windows 10, French version) – one that
exhibited the bug, and one that did not. I was trying to find the difference
between both (reinstalled LO to be sure I used the same options…) when I had
the curiosity to go check what had been said on the bug #126995, which has been
marked as a duplicate of this one.
There, the submitter solved the problem himself by upgrading Windows 10 to
version 1903.
Checking on my two Windows 10 machines, I realized the working one was in
version 1903, whereas the faulty one was still in version 1809. I upgraded to
version 1903 (took sooooooo long…), and – bingo – the bug had disappeared.
I decided to wait until Monday to check on my office machine, where the bug
appeared first. Its version is 1803.
I don’t know whether I’ll be allowed by the IT to upgrade the Windows version
on it (I’ll keep you updated if I can), but I’m pretty sure it would solve the
problem.
So, as far as I know, the problem only appears in
- French versions of Windows 10 before 1903
- Documents using the character: ⚠
- During any kind of export to PDF.
If anyone else could test in these conditions, and then upgrade to 1903, it
would be helpful.
It does not mean (although it’s highly probable) that the bug is within Windows
and not LibreOffice (after all, Microsoft Print to PDF & PDFCreator printers
manage to print this character in old version of Windows 10), but it still
means that an acceptable workaround has been found (upgrade to Windows 10
version 1903+).
I don’t know how you LibreOffice gurus handle this case, but the bug #126995
has been marked Solved / WorksForMe – although Solved / NotOurBug may be more
relevant… I’ll let you change the bug status according to the usual process of
this site.
