            Bug ID: 140622
           Summary: On some .doc files, added Hebrew diacritics are
                    displayed misplaced (tilted to the left)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
When adding Hebrew diacritic marks to words in an existing .doc file created in
word (even if it is saved later as an .odt file or if the text was copy/pasted
into an .odt file), the diacritic marks are misplaced. The do not appear in the
letter, but rather a bit after it (to the left).
A workaround is to delete the character, type it again and add the diacritic
mark.

This is similar to the problem that was resoved in bug #132688. Maybe the fix
there was not comprehensive enough. This is also a regression from versions
prior to 6.4.7.

Adding Hebrew diacritics to long documents with no diacritics is actually a
common task (and about half of my own job). This bug makes it practically
impossible.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have a Hebrew keyboard layout defined (no actual keyboard is
needed). On linux+gnome this is done through the language & area settings: add
the Hebrew (lyx) keyboard layout.
2. Open the attached document, and set the input language to Hebrew
3. Place the caret after the first letter (Hebrew is RTL, so this means to the
left of the rightmost character, כ) and add the Hebrew diacritic mark Kamatz
(Shist+E). 


Actual Results:
The kamatz is added incorrectly, somewhat after the character כ.

Expected Results:
The kamatz is added correctly, directly underneath the character כ (it should
look like this: כָ).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
