This is similar to the issue you fixed in LibreOffice where styling breaks text layout. This one line fix is what LibreOffice was doing already before your fix, so it fixes the issue to some extent but it is not a complete fix. Ligatures, for example, would still be broken (some ligatures are mandatory in Arabic, لا for instance). As you noticed already, kerning would still be broken even with this fix. It is a good change to have in Qt nevertheless, since the proper fix is unlikely to happen anytime soon (judging by how long the Qt issues have been open). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
