** 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 couldn't find any similar reports from other users, however I found this 
post on the developers mailing list which seems to be connected to this issue, 
though I did not manage to figure how:

- Thank you in advance!
  
  P.s. my current system: Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit on VirtualBox host. The
  rest of the essential info should be delivered through Apport.
