            Bug ID: 126216
           Summary: Inconsistent spacing between letters in Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: vincent.hudry at live.fr

Description:
When writing text in Writer, the spacings are inconsistent. Sometimes (like in
my configuration with the default font), these spacings look a lot like actual
space characters, making the text very hard to read, because you see spaces
that are not here.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Libre Office Writer
2. Start typing.
3. hope for the bug to happen

Actual Results:
In some cases (in attached file at "dans", second "Kiwi", "immortels", "aimés"
second paragraph (twice) there is spacings that split the words. These spaces
are roughly the size of a caret (blinking bar).

Expected Results:
I would have expected the spaces to be more consistent. The problem is that
they are easily mistaken as spaces, which makes the text hard to read.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
About reproductibility :
This problem happen consistently accross the same device. When switching to
another computer, the problem is still here, but the spaces don't have the same
lenght and don't happen at the same place.
Opening the file in Microsoft Word, the problem doesn't show up in word but
keeps in Writer.
The problem is independant on the word typed.
I suspect a problem in the rendering engine of the text.
