            Bug ID: 119960
           Summary: EDITING: Font metrics mixed up for RTL insets in a LTR
                    context in Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: vaaydayaasra at gmail.com

Description:
In the attached screenshot, I’ve written an English sentence with an Arabic
word in the middle on the first row of a Calc sheet. On the second row, I’ve
written the same Arabic word (العربية) by itself. The second row looks as it
should but on the first row, some of the characters overlap. The same problem
occurs if I surround the isolated Arabic word with parentheses, in which case
the cell is automatically aligned to the left. I’m using the default font
settings, which in my environment are Liberation Sans for Latin text and DejaVu
Sans for Arabic. The problem only occurs in Calc, not Writer. 

This problem was first reported for LO 6.0.3.2 on Launchpad at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1793127 . Another
user there confirmed the bug for LO 6.0.3.2 and 6.1.1.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a LTR Calc cell, write some text in English, then Arabic and then
English.


Actual Results:
Some of the letters of the Arabic text overlap.

Expected Results:
Arabic should look the same as in an RTL context.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
