            Bug ID: 139797
           Summary: Can't place a bar directly over phonetic symbols in
                    Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.2 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dpquinton at zoho.com

Description:
In my work I need to placed a bar over phonetic symbols.

The  symbol U+304 (named, combining macron) among the Combining diacritical
marks, combines with normal letters as a bar above them, but with phonetic
symbols as a true space modifier, sitting to the above-right position.

My question is, how can I put a bar over a phonetic symbol and have it shown
directly over the character in Libre? It works in a text editor, but not in
Libre as the mark is treated properly as a space modifier - so how might I turn
off "detect space modifiers with phonetic symbols"?

Maybe it's just not possible. thanks


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open special characters
2.Insert a phonetic vowel followed by the combining macron
3.

Actual Results:
the macron sits to top right (correct behaviour)

Expected Results:
I need a way to make the macron sit directly on top of the symbol


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
An option not to recognise phonetic symbols so that the combining characters do
no act as combiners, even as they don't with normal characters.
