            Bug ID: 129986
           Summary: Spellchecker's red wavy underline doesn't show up for
                    RTL languages, although the spellchecker works and
                    suggests corrections in the context menu.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.1 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Linguistic

Description:
The bug occurs only with RTL languages. I don't see the wavy red underline that
should mark the misspelled words. However, the spellchecker detects that words
are misspelled and suggests appropriate corrections when right-clicking to see
the context menu.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable automatic spellchecking, and set the correct language for the
paragraph.
2. Write something misspelled in Hebrew or Arabic (should be RTL language). 
3. For comparison, repeat the same for English, or any other LTR language.

Actual Results:
RTL misspellings are detected, but a red wavy underline marking is not shown.
Context menu offers appropriate corrections.

LTR misspellings are detected, and a red wavy underline marking is shown.
Context menu offers appropriate corrections.

Expected Results:
Both RTL and LTR misspellings marked by a red wavy underline.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
OS: Debian Sid

Writer version: 6.4.0.2 from the Sid distribution.

OpenCL is disabled.

Resetting UserProfile did not help.

Turning on/off hardware acceleration, and/or anti-aliasing, did not affect the
problem. 

Turning on/off automatic spell checking did not not affect the problem.

Changing fonts, or text alignment (logical or visual) does not affect the
problem.

Tested with: English, French, Russian, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic. Only Hebrew
and Arabic reproduce the bug since they're RTL (unlike the rest which are LTR).

Using Hunspell with the matching dictionaries from Debian.
