--- Comment #7 from Miklos Vajna <vmiklos at collabora.com> ---
I believe the above just uncovers an existing problem. That commit simply made
the behavior consistent across multiple platforms, nowadays we don't even have
multiple layouts, just the harfbuzz-based one.

But try this on master:

1) Type "AV", set font size to 40pt (leave font at Liberation Serif, kerning
enabled).

2) Highlight "A" with e.g. yellow.

The V will obviously shift to the right a bit, because "A" and "V" now have
different char props, so they are laid out separately, because "A" has a yellow
background and "V" does not.

I think the request to avoid this "shift to the right" is fair, but this never
worked, so I think this is rather an implementation error. (E.g. an
implementation of text highlighting in a pdf viewer never does this.)

Adjusting keywords accordingly.
