<pre>Description:
Text that has both increased character spacing and ligatures will have faulty
justification, caret positioning, spell-check underlining etc.
Basically, justification, caret positioning or spell-check underlining behave
as if the text had no ligatures. This looks to me as if all these operations
were applied before the ligatures when it should really be the other way
around.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type text with potential ligatures (like "fi" etc.)
2. Choose a font with these ligatures (e.g. "FreeSerif" or "Linux Libertine").
3. Increase character spacing ("Character..." dialog, "Position" tab, positive
value in "Spacing", e.g. "5.0 pt")
4. Make sure that the ligatures are still displayed if necessary (e.g. by using
a zero-width joiner or by explicitly setting "FreeSerif:liga=1")
Actual Results:
After a word with a ligature, things are positioned further right as if the
word had not been shortened by the ligature:
* The caret is further right than where new characters are typed.
* Line justification will cut off the line before it reaches full width.
* Spell-check underlinings are shifted right and take up more place than the
word length.
Expected Results:
* The caret should be where new characters are typed.
* Line justification should reach full line width.
* Spell-check underlinings should be under the word.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
This bug is not about the default behaviour of ligatures when character spacing
is increased. Whether or not increasing the character spacing disables
ligatures (as it should, see <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - FORMATTING: Expanded spacing on zero-width characters"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=93033">bug 93033</a>), we can still choose to have increased
character spacing with ligatures, e.g. by setting "liga=1" or by using a
zero-width joiner.
