            Bug ID: 135053
           Summary: Some letters are cut off, but it is hard to notice
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: peter_bakic at hotmail.com

Description:
I have written an entire book, about 80k words. In it, I now find that some
letters are missing their right part. Most letter "f" (lower case) but also
some other letters. It appears that the blank space that follows is covering
the letter. If I delete that letter and the letter after it, it usually reverts
to a normal state, so no cut-off any more. But the problem is VERY hard to
notice, so I have to sift through entire manuscript to find corrupted letters
and, I miss quite a few. Every time I open it, I find new ones. If I print such
a page, the print has the same cut-off letters too, true to what is on the
screen. So, this is not a display issue. Problem is - it is not reproducible,
except in one case where a word "beefcake" will have letter "f" cut off if
LibreOffice writer inserts a hyphen to break the word into two (at new line).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Doesn't seem to be reproducible, can only be found in an already formatted
text. Possibly can be reproduced by forcing the word "beefcake" to be split
into to at the end of the line with automatic hyphen insertion.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Didn't notice this problem while typing, only after some edits, and working on
the file for a more than a year.

Expected Results:
As it is not reproducible, at least not directly, nothing will happen as one
types in libreoffice, only after the same file is opened multiple times, edited
and so on. I only noticed the problem with cut-off letters during the final
read before I was going to pass the file to the proof-reader for the final edit
before printing.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The best way to see this bug is to have me send you the file in which I
assembled examples of letters that are cut off. They all miss the 20% or so
from the right side which is easily missed.
As for OpenGL, I don't see anywhere in options to turn it on or off. Only
OpenCL, and that was OFF.
