Title:
  LibreOffice 6.4 OpenType Features unusable

Status in LibreOffice:
  Unknown
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using OpenType features (Format - Character - Feature) from a
  capable font like EB Garamond 12, LibreOffice automatically enables a
  fractional style, which essentially makes all numerics unusable, and
  there's no obvious way to disable this in the GUI once you've opened
  the Features dialog.

  There are two workaround, as all OpenType features get disabled when
  selecting another font, and back again.

  And, of course, one can remove :frac=1 manually from the font name
  field.

  This has however been fixed in LibreOffice 7.0 onward, but somehow
  wasn't cherrypicked into 6.4.x, even though the change seems trivial:

  
https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/d28c9d56df8a2629321bda116a6d2dcfa587d160

  Please consider including this cherrypick in a future package for
  Ubuntu Focal.

  The patch won't apply directly due to a filename typo getting
  corrected, which needs to be uncorrected in the patch:

  vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitionList.cxx
  vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitonList.cxx
