            Bug ID: 109268
           Summary: Combining Cyrillic characters overlap when placed
                    above each other e.g. лⷣ҇
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: francisbutler35 at gmail.com

Description:
In earlier versions (through 5.2?), when I typed multiple combining Cyrillic
characters over regular Cyrillic characters in an Old East Slavic text that I
am editing, the characters would be visible as a stack (the regular character
below, the first combining character above it, and the second combining
character above the first). Now when I type the same way the combining
characters overlap with each other. (I initially switched to LibreOffice
because in Microsoft Word combining characters overlapped each other as they
now do in LibreOffice).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter any standard Cyrillic character (I use the font Bukyvede, which has
many rare characters.)
2. Enter one combining Cyrillic character above the first one. (I typically use
a small combining letter, e.g. ⷮ . (I use PopChar to enter letters with no
keyboard equivalent.)
3. Enter a second combining Cyrillic character (typically ҇ )above the first
one.

Actual Results:  
Combining characters overlap each other above standard character

Expected Results:
First combining character appears above standard character; second combining
character appears above first combining character. (I do not mind if the higher
character interferes with the line of print above it; the solution is to make a
greater space between lines.)


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
While this problem may affect only a small number of users, it is a major
problem for anyone attempting to reproduce an Early Slavic text.
