Test file with a reduced displaying window

When I reduce the width of the window, I obtain this displaying.
Is that what you are talking of?

Comment 9 Volga 2017-04-11 11:51:40 UTC
So I suggest LibreOffice should always render the texts as expected whenever loading them at the first time or resizing the window.
Comment 10 Volga 2017-11-19 17:12:35 UTC
Now all Marchen text rendered as expected. Confirmed on the following build:

Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)

Comment 11 Jacques Guilleron 2017-11-19 17:34:00 UTC
Hi Volga,

I confirm the correct renderer with
LO 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 133d617a7758acb342d82e5d446e165cd87e2cac
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default;

Close it as Works for me.
Comment 12 Volga 2017-12-12 13:34:42 UTC
Unfortunately, the problem appearing to me again, but I found there are two ways to make the problem disappeared when I opened the file:
1. Resize the window
2. Minimize the window into taskbar, then reopen it.

Dear Volga,

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
