Description Fudo Altto 2022-05-09 01:31:33 UTC

Description:
When I type Chinese characters in the insertion mode of the keyboard just ahead of several other Chinese characters, the characters typed in advance got broken, with "!!broken!!" displayed. It happens when more than 2 Chinese characters are typed ahead in my test, however, I am not sure if the number of characters matters. ALso, in the simple test of mine, the same occasion is not seen as to ASCII characters.

Example:示例 --> 示例二!!broken!!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new .odt file and open it.
2. Type several Chinese characters, like "示例".
3. Turn the cursor to the head of the characters typed before (for example, press button "Home" on the keyboard).
4. Press button "Insert" to turn the insert mode.
5. Type more than 2 Chinese characters, like "示例".

Actual Results:
示例 --> 示例!!broken!!

Expected Results:
示例示例


Reproducible: Always

Would you please clarify the input method you have used?

I used Microsoft Pinyin, which is a officially supported input method by Microsoft for Chinese characters input.

Sorry for a few grammar mistakes. I do need to be more discreet before submitting the reply next time and I was not aware that it was not revocable.

Can still be reproduced with:

Version: 7.4.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 85569322deea74ec9134968a29af2df5663baa21
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

I can reproduce the issue with Microsoft Pinyin and Microsoft Wubi IMEs in the Chinese (Simplified, China) locale. I can also reproduce with Microsoft Bopomofo in the Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) locale. I cannot reproduce with Microsoft CangJie IME in the Taiwan locale.

Also, shouldn't the expected result be 示例 and not 示例示例, since insert mode is turned on and the newly typed characters will replace the old ones entirely?
