(In reply to Karsten from comment #4) > Please refer to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115038 Why?
Why not? I have no idea, but this problems seems to belong together.
(In reply to Karsten from comment #6) > Why not? > > I have no idea, but this problems seems to belong together. Because the request was "Please try with LibreOffice 5.4 to be sure." Did you?
You can read there that i tested examples 4.4.3.2 and 5.4.4.2 with writer and impress
Thomas: are you able to confirm this?
I don't know what you really want, but i think the question is if this bug should be better solved in bug 115038 ? Then i will say yes, because this here seems only to be an side effect.

O.K. then see this as hint or opinion as you like. :-)

Version 6 seems to be stable now so i upgraded generally.

Maybe it's a KDE-Problem. Have you tested other programs? Have you tried with a fresh LibO user profile?
Karsten can try by launching from the command line with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice

Sorry - i don't know - it is to long ago. But i always used the stable releases.
(In reply to Karsten from comment #24) > Sorry - i don't know - it is to long ago. > But i always used the stable releases. It's just that the font rendering engine was changed to HarfBuzz in 5.3.0. You can test old releases as appimages, just download and set the file to be executable: https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/index.php/old-versions/
It can be a HarfBuzz issue but there must be at least one person who can reproduce this.
I thought you can reproduce it? https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115038#c9 And i have the exact same behaviour on 2 PC's and 1 notebook all running Debian 8. Maybe i can Test with Debian 9 ...
But this issue I can't reproduce. Maybe there is something, a step which is missing in my tests and therefore I don't see the issue.
(In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #28) > But this issue I can't reproduce. Maybe there is something, a step which is > missing in my tests and therefore I don't see the issue. Dear Karsten, Could you please create and attach a screencast showing the steps? There are various free screencast software available for use, including Camstudio (Windows), Jing (Mac), Simple Screen Recorder (Linux) or screencast-o-matic.com (Web). I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested screencast is provided.

Maybe. Maybe a problem of special settings within KDE? But then it should not be rendered false in libreoffice.
When the next version of libreoffice get's stable? Or can Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ be seen as stable as my version i am using?
(In reply to Karsten from comment #33) > When the next version of libreoffice get's stable? > > Or can Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ be seen as stable as my version i am using? LO 6.1.0.0 will be installed separatly - so you can still use your actual stable version of LO.
(In reply to Dieter Praas from comment #34) > LO 6.1.0.0 will be installed separatly - so you can still use your actual > stable version of LO. Or try https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/index.php/pre-releases/ and like I said in comment 25, try the older appimages to find the exact version where the problem appeared.
Karsten, have you tried it with a newer version or have you tried the older appimages to find the exact version where the problem appeared (see previous comment)? 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.
Sorry that i did not answer for a long time. I did not have the time for futher tests. I should check this in a fresh install of Debian 9. But i am still working in Debian 8 because there is no time to migrate my data ...

No need to update Debian, if you just download an appimage of LibreOffice and run it.

Created attachment 158111 [details] Problem in 6.2.8.2 After such a long time and multiple releases it is normal to give up. You have written that you can't reproduce it - so you can't trace the problem. It seems that the problem is caused in the combination with the setup of KDE / distribution. Maybe settings within the language german. I should test it in Debian 10, because in Debian 8 it is still present. Now i must first install the latest stable release. But it is easier just to avoid Windings. Here it is still present.

So just for clarification (because I can't see this in attachment from comment 56): There is no additional space character, but only additional space, right?
The meaning of your question is not clear? The space character can be seen on the screen and in the print / pdf of it. When using the font windings there is no additional space entered between the characters. You can check it in the odt https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=158222 This one is exported to the pdf https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=158221

I believe this. But as already told this problem is given in Debian 8 and 10. I can test it in Debian 9, but that would make no difference. There was already opened another bug that the formatting is different on other PC's running the same Linux and Libreoffice. So this is not really an forte of Libreoffice. ;-) When you can't reproduce it you have no chance to debug it. Sometimes problems cannot be solved. :-)

The problem exists on the screen and in the PDF. Do you need an screenshot to believe?
(In reply to Karsten from comment #64) > The problem exists on the screen and in the PDF. > Do you need an screenshot to believe? I believe you, of course. I'm also sure, you've checked settings of character spacing in Format => Character => Position.

(In reply to Karsten from comment #66) > You can check it for yourself, because the odt is attached. Yes of, course, but I don't see spaces after characters and therefore it's no surprise, that setting of character spacing is 0.

Dear Karsten, 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!
