The issue (at least the recent comment that revived it) argues that
disabling CTL (and by extension CJK) by default makes it much harder for
users of these scripts to use LibreOffice (which is my experience as well,
we have many reports of users failing to use such basic functionality
because it was hidden by default). So the fix it to actually make sure the
controls are always visible and may remove the option to hide them
altogether, not hiding them by default.

If the dialogs are cluttered, then they need to be organized not hiding
basic UI needed by a large segment of our users.

Often than not such heuristics fails.

I think I can make use of one, if it can get here easily. I currently
use the same Mac laptop for both Linux and Mac development, not the most
productive setup.

So what is the actual bug here, the use of OpenSymbol (is this a new
change?) or that line spacing for OpenSymbol changed? If it is the
later, it might be worth seeing if any of the edits to the font over the
years changed its line spacing (I recently did touch them, but just to
unify the various parameters, some of them were obviously broken). It
might also be possible to set the bullet style to have a fixed and very
small line spacing so that it is always smaller than the text font.

I can’t reproduce this issue here; I see no line spacing differences in
the attached document.

Khaled
