            Bug ID: 121296
           Summary: Problem typing Unicode Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) and
                    Non-joiner (ZWNJ) in Malayalam/ Indic languages
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: premk_tvm at yahoo.co.in

Description:
This happens when typing in Malaylam in LibreOffice (Writer, Calc - seen with
5.2 and 6.0 - 64-bit and 32-bit) on Windows 7 Prof or Win 10. I am unable the
type the ZWJ (U+200D or 8205) and ZWNJ (U-200C or 8204) characters using the
Windows' built-in Malayalam keyboard. In Windows applications like Notepad the
characters can be typed using the standard keys Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+3.
But LO does not accept these keystrokes. Hence it creates problems in typing
the chillu-letters in Malayalam.

(I have a workaround with macros).
(Question asked in Ask LibreOffice:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/58603/unicode-zero-width-joiner-and-non-joiner-zwj-zwnj-in-malayalam-indic-languages/)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. While in Writer, select Malayalam Windows keyboard (Languages)
2. Type ര് and then press Ctrl+Shift+1. Normally it should produce ര്‍ (It works
correctly in Browser)
3. In LibreOffice this Ctrl+Shift+1 keystroke is not recognised.

Actual Results:
Only ര് is displayed.

Expected Results:
It shoudl have displayed ര്‍


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes
