<pre>Description:
This happens when typing in Malaylam in LibreOffice (Writer, Calc - seen with
5.2 and 6.0 - 64-bit and 32-bit) on Windows 7 Prof or Win 10. I am unable the
type the ZWJ (U+200D or 8205) and ZWNJ (U-200C or 8204) characters using the
Windows' built-in Malayalam keyboard. In Windows applications like Notepad the
characters can be typed using the standard keys Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+3.
But LO does not accept these keystrokes. Hence it creates problems in typing
the chillu-letters in Malayalam.
(I have a workaround with macros).
(Question asked in Ask LibreOffice:
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/58603/unicode-zero-width-joiner-and-non-joiner-zwj-zwnj-in-malayalam-indic-languages/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/58603/unicode-zero-width-joiner-and-non-joiner-zwj-zwnj-in-malayalam-indic-languages/</a>)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. While in Writer, select Malayalam Windows keyboard (Languages)
2. Type ര് and then press Ctrl+Shift+1. Normally it should produce ര് (It works
correctly in Browser)
3. In LibreOffice this Ctrl+Shift+1 keystroke is not recognised.
Actual Results:
Only ര് is displayed.
Expected Results:
It shoudl have displayed ര്
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
