** Description changed: - I have been seeing this bug for a long time now. I think it first - appeared immediately with Ubuntu adopting the LibreOffice. A friend of - mine who is still using OpenOffice on a previous version of Ubuntu, - doesn't have this bug. I myself have encountered it on multiple Ubuntu - installs, even with other Ubuntu derivatives like Linux Mint. Including - installs on 4 different laptops and 3 VMs, both VirtualBox and vmware. I - didn't try other distributions. As far as I can tell, the symptoms are - systematic through every Ubuntu derivative with LibreOffice installed, - and also through different releases. - - I did configure the system to support Hebrew and RTL input, by going to - System Settings -> Language Support and installing Hebrew. Also there - was some option to specifically install RTL support, which I enabled, - too. I updated the system after that. And also restarted it multiple - times. There are some specific Hebrew fonts which were automatically - installed during the installation process in the Language Support. - The symptoms are: * Before I start typing in Hebrew, I can normally select a desired font from the Font Name box. For example, I select the David CLM font, which is Hebrew specific, as far as I understand. But as soon as I start typing in Hebrew, the font gets switched to another one - Lohit Hindi for no obvious reason. * If I want to have the font setting persist, I need to first type something with this wrong font, and then change the font to the desired one. After doing it this way, the selected font will persist and I can continue to type with the right one. * However, if some time later I decide to change the font again (say, to the Aharoni CLM), I cannot do it in the beginning of a paragraph, otherwise it will switch back again - to the David CLM font. * When I'm typing in Hewbrew, the language indicator on the status row (to the left of the INSRT indicator) shows Hindi. * Every time I start a new paragraph, I can see the language switch to English (USA). As soon as I start typing, it switches back to Hindi. * The problem appears only when trying to type in Hebrew, it's totally fine in Russian and in English. + I did configure the system to support Hebrew and RTL input, by going to + System Settings -> Language Support and installing Hebrew.
