Description LKeithJordan 2016-06-24 15:09:08 UTC
OS: Windows 7
LO version: 5.1.x

Downloaded and installed LO Version 5.1.3.2 on Win 7 on 2016.0623. Found that the LO Calc spreadsheet cells contained a kerning error between the letters "w" and the "r" in the word "rewritten."

Tried several fonts. The error appears specific to Arial and Liberation Sans fonts.

Because of another bug just reported, uninstalled LO Version 5.1.3.2 and reinstalled LO Version 5.1.2. Problem still present.

Tested LO Writer Version 5.1.2 for the same problem. Problem did not appear.

Downloaded and installed LO Version 5.1.4.2 on Linux Mint 17.3 on 2016.0624. Tested LO Calc for this problem. Problem did not appear.

Problem appears specific to Windows LO Calc Version 5.1.x.

Please attach a sample then set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks

I just tried to reproduce the problem in order to capture the results and attach a sample. Inexplicably, the problem has vanished.

This is one of two bugs I recently reported that vanished with no explanation. I find solutions with no explanation particularly troubling. 

This means success cannot be intentionally repeated, and problems cannot be intentionally reproduced and fixed. As Buovjaga commented regarding bug 100590 however, "let's try to be happy the issue is gone."

I changed the status to UNCONFIRMED as you requested. I'll leave it to you to change the status to RESOLVED.

Thanks for taking time to address my bug report. Have a great day.

Thank YOU for reporting and being patient with the software. If it comes back up, go ahead and report it again :)
