            Bug ID: 139807
           Summary: Order of deletion and text type is shuffled in
                    LibreOffice Writer when typed very quickly with
                    xdotool
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: user5028841 at protonmail.com

Description:
When some program is used to type into LibreOffice Writer very quickly and the
content includes both character and backspaces, the backspaces are sequenced
later.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer.
2. Execute `sleep 1; xdotool key --delay 0 a BackSpace b` in another command,
and quickly switch back to LibreOffice Writer window.

Actual Results:
The content of the page is `a`.

Expected Results:
The content of the page should be `b` (which is what happens if the key
sequence `a BackSpace b` is typed into the page slowly)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
There's no option for "Use OpenGL for all rendering", but "Use hardware
acceleration" is turned on; but it doesn't make any difference if it's turned
off.

Originally reported at https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover/issues/1059
-- the bug doesn't happen at version 5.4.7.2, but does happen at 6.1.5.2 or
7.0.4.2.

It takes a long time to download each version of LibreOffice to test, so I
can't tell if 6.1.5.2 is the first affected version.
