Description Hamid 2017-05-16 00:36:04 UTC

Hello,

Pressing Ctrl changes paragraph text direction. It does so even in combinations before keying in the next keypress such as in Ctrl+Shift. Saving the document suppresses the anomaly for some time until it reappears.

Hello Hamid,

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

Upgraded but when I check the About Libreoffice:

Version: 5.3.1.2
Build ID: 1:5.3.1-0ubuntu2
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.10; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Layout Engine: new; 
Locale: fa-IR (fa_IR); Calc: group

BTW This error message or warning appears in the log of upgrade:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
…
Processing triggers for shared-mime-info (1.8-1) ...
Unknown media type in type 'all/all'
Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'
…

Is it actually upgraded?

Comment 3 Hamid 2017-05-17 04:45:38 UTC

I upgraded using the libreoffice PPA and the upgrade is done. Now it takes a while to check if the problem recurs.

Comment 4 Hamid 2017-06-01 10:06:17 UTC

Upgrade seems to have solved the issue. Although with a caveat: I have changed GTK3 skin to KDE. I change the status since there was no other report.
