Actual result: While the cursor behaviour is OK on the fi ligature (and this is an improvement respect OOo 3.2.x), when you arrive to the "prime" the cursor will jump to the right, possible going to the position where the text \prime should be if "tex mode" were not enabled. This behaviour is confusing because the cursor jump to a text position, but if you press "back space" the text deleted is the one "hidden" by the Graphite replacement, not the one where cursor is shown.

Bug 34420 addresses most of the needs here. But there is also something wrong with the font. When creating ligatures it is necessary to associate the ligature with all (well the first and last) of the underlying glyphs. Thus a rule (taken from MagyarLinLibertineG) like: unicode(0x005C) p("a") p("l") p("p") p("h") p("a") > _ _ _ _ _ unicode(0x03B1); needs to become: unicode(0x005C) p("a") p("l") p("p") p("h") p("a") > _ _ _ _ _ unicode(0x03B1):(1 6); This then tells the engine that the whole string \alpha is associated with the one output glyph rather than saying that it is deleting \alph and associating the alpha with the final a only. Bug 34420 removes the most egregious problems with not specifying appropriately, but doesn't solve everything. In addition there is the issue that people don't really want to have to right arrow 6 times to get past the alpha, which the current cursor tracking algorithm, which is based on a purely codepoint based (UAX#29) model, requires.

Now, when by pressing the cursor arrow to the left you arrive to the "prime" character, the cursor remains on its position for six strokes before jumping to the other side, which is a bit confusing too. Try writing, on the same conditions as before (with textm=1) the following text Text \prime more text \alpha and final text and try to move the cursor one position at a time from the right. Now there is a confusing behaviour not only on the prime and alpha characters, but on the word "final" with the cursor remaining for two strokes on the "n" and then jumping the "fi" ligature on one step.

Thus, although graphite is being used to turn a long string of letters into a single glyph, the cursor movement is based purely on the underlying characters. This would happen whether the font were Graphite or OT based. The key code seems to be in SwContentNode::GoNext (sw/core/docnode/node.cxx) and uses an ICU break iterator to control the cursor movement. Basically, this isn't a graphite or graphite integration bug.

I can confirm this is exactly what is happening, and here a quick patch: diff --git a/sw/source/core/txtnode/fntcache.cxx b/sw/source/core/txtnode/fntcache.cxx index 146122841e7c..8389c39f54e3 100644 --- a/sw/source/core/txtnode/fntcache.cxx +++ b/sw/source/core/txtnode/fntcache.cxx @@ -1608,8 +1608,9 @@ Size SwFntObj::GetTextSize( SwDrawTextInfo& rInf ) if( !GetScrFont()->IsSameInstance( rInf.GetOut().GetFont() ) ) rInf.GetOut().SetFont( *m_pScrFont ); + sal_Int32 nLength(rInf.GetText().getLength() - sal_Int32(rInf.GetIdx())); GetTextArray(*m_pPrinter, rInf.GetText(), aKernArray, - sal_Int32(rInf.GetIdx()), sal_Int32(nLn)); + sal_Int32(rInf.GetIdx()), nLength); } else { With this patch, the cursor no longer jumps, but it won’t “enter” the ligature either (i.e. it will remain at the end of the ligature for the number of letters in the ligature). We can improve this, but I’m not sure what this code is used also for and this change is certainly wrong in other situations. Now I need someone who is familiar with these parts of Writer to guide me in untangling all of this.

Ligatures are detected and the width of the glyph is evenly distributed over the number of grapheme clusters that make up the ligature. This works nicely for “real” ligatures, but a bit awkward for Linux Libertine G’s text replacement disguised as ligatures. But we can’t distinguish between the two, and we want this behavior for most ligatures. 2. If the font has OpenType ligature caret information, we will use it for more fine grained caret placement inside the ligature.

For example the letter ب (U+0628) is reduced to about a half or even a third of its width if it's followed by another character such as ا (U+0627): با. Usually LibreOffice understands the changes in font metrics pretty well but not always. See the attached screenshot where I've written the sentence "مرحبا يا صديقي العزيز" in Writer and started selecting letters from the beginning of the line. The selection shown in the screenshot looks like the whole first word plus the following space but actually it only covers the first 4 letters of the first word out of 5 total: مرحب. From a user's point of view, this is very confusing, as I can't tell how far I've already selected without counting the characters in my mind. Even more surprisingly, LibreOffice Calc shows the selection as expected, i.e. different from Writer, so this does not feel like a font problem per se, although only some fonts display this behavior. The font I'm using in this example is Scheherazade, available through a third-party repository at packages.sil.org. The font is designed to cover a very wide variety of characters used for Arabic-script minority languages in both Asia and Africa, and in many cases it's the only professionally made font available for people working on many of these languages.
