            Bug ID: 134672
           Summary: text formatting issue, LO not reading Word correctly
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Description:
Dear Libre Office,

I am having a text formatting issue that seems to be in Libre Office 6.4.4.2
and wondering if you could help.

When LO is reading a Word document, square characters are appearing where a
line break should be. However, this is inconsistent, as the squares only appear
sometimes, not at all line breaks. And it's only appearing when the doc is
opened again in Word after being saved in LO. The only clue we have is that it
is only happening when letters have been written vertically on the page (a
vertical poem, see below) in a Word doc.

L 

Please let me know if you have any idea what is happening! I'd be happy to send
you the documents in question.

Sincerely,
Rose Michel

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Word doc is opened in LO
2.LO does not see any strange square marks and the doc is saved in LO.
3.When the doc is opened again in Word, square marks appear (which seem to be
invisible characters for line breaks - but it's inconsistent, not all line
breaks are indicated by squares 

Actual Results:
Square formatting marks appear

Expected Results:
Formatting marks should not appear


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This issue is only happening with vertical texts centred on the page:
