--- Comment #5 from Anders Lind <[email protected]> ---
TL;DR / Please watch these two videos first:

They demonstrate the problem much more clearly than the written description
can.

In short: When strings contain characters from different Unicode
blocks/scripts, LibreOffice can render characters incorrectly — including
missing characters, blank rectangles, unexpected font/style changes,
overlapping characters, and characters appearing at the wrong positions.

This is not limited to Linux. The same general rendering problems can also be
reproduced in the Windows version of LibreOffice, although the exact
manifestations can differ between Windows and Linux.

What makes the problem particularly unusual is that rendering can change when
apparently unrelated things are changed, such as zoom level, scrolling,
insertion order, surrounding content, or saving/reloading.

The problem is also affected by LibreOffice's UI mode; for example, some cases
are reproducible with the Tabbed UI but not reliably with the default UI.

The detailed cases document the different manifestations and provide
reproducible test scenarios on both platforms.
