Bug-Screenshot

Let me just explain how to reproduce, this is the way I can accomplish it:
1. Make a new Document
2. Create a new Paragraph-style which uses Drop Caps.
3. Set this new style and "Textbody" to use "Justified Flow"
4. Create two paragraphs:
   - One short (Drop Caps-) one that starts with a small d (for example "daf"). The d should be underlined by the DropCaps-gray now.
   - Below that, a longer (Textbody-) paragraph, that starts with a big D.
5. Put the cursor at the beginning of the second paragraph, before the D.
6. Click [Backspace] until you have deleted the small d; the capital D now is the Drop-Cap-letter.
7. Observe the bug: On the right side, the Text should protrude further than usually possible. (See attatched screenshot)

SOME LETTERS DON'T SHOW THIS BEHAVIOR. D just is a good one to show the bug. There was some other letter-combination that actually makes the text go less far than it's supposed to... I just forgot which letters they were.

I couldn't reproduce this on Windows... Could other people post their results?

I could reproduce it with

See attachment: "not" in the third line isn't fully within text borders

I also tested with a different text, but couldn't repoduce.

Dear Clarc,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

I could no longe reproduce the problem with attached test file. Clarc, is it possible for you? If this is the case, please provide a sample file.

Comment 5 Clarc 2023-03-11 10:49:54 UTC

It still works for me, though it behaves slightly differently. Now the bug only flickers for a split second, before disappearing. See the video I'll attach in a minute. I'll also attach the file it worked with for me.

@Dieter: I noticed in the test file you provided you didn't use "D"s as described in the very first comment. Maybe this was the reason for it not showing anymore?

Comment 8 Dieter 2023-03-11 17:28:31 UTC

I can still reproduce it and also with my test file in comment 4 (attachment 184517 [details])

Steps:
1. Open attachment 184517 [details]
2. Place cursor before second word ("paragraphs")
3. Delete characters until "P" is drop cap

Actual result:
Text in second and third line is outside text margins

Comment 9 Kira Tubo 2023-10-12 21:40:37 UTC

This is reproducible in Windows on master and 3.3. 

Steps:
1. Open attachment 184517 [details]
2. Place cursor before second word ("paragraphs")
3. Backspace characters individually until "P" is drop cap (at this point, it looks like everything is OK on Windows)
4. Scroll down until you no longer see the text in the document
5. Scroll back up

Result: text on lines 2 and 3 extend past margins.
