Description nicolae788 2018-08-27 20:25:54 UTC

When  typing the respective capital letter the ^ sign appears only as two dots as the rest of the sign was deleted and only the end of the legs were displayed.

2. Start a new line with TAB
3. Input Î or Â

Actual Results:
Ä and the same with I the two dots

Expected Results:
 Î


Reproducible: Always

Could you test writing something in browser with those letter? Isn't something with your keyboard and NOT with Libreoffice? Please check. 

I also use romanian keyboard (standard layout) and I use versions 5.4, 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 and not a problem at all. Check the keyboard you have choosen.

Niclae, I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if Bogdans suggestions don't solve the problem.

Nicolae, in general Ubuntu come with keyboard packages. Not Libre Office. Please reply to comment 1. And try to install from Ubuntu: Romanian kerboard (standard).

I tested in the browser, in a notepad like text editor: pluma, vim , vi, nano. Only in LibreOffice Writer i can reproduce this behaviour.

The keyboard it's selected in Ubuntu and after that selection i use it in Writer. It's selected as Romanian standard and the keyboard type as generic or Dell Latitude keyboard with same results. The platform it's a Dell D620 ( 32 bit ) without discrete graphics and Ubuntu Mate 18.04 with all updates done.

I admit it could be something particular to my system. I will try to test this behaviour on a Cent-OS with GUI installed, the following days, and come with the results.

As a side note the ^ sign it's rendered, but somehow remains behind the letter, it stays at the margin of the sheet and only the end of the legs get carried together with the letter and therefore they appear as two dots above the letter. Very strange :)

Thank you for the input

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2018-08-28 10:48:26 UTC
OTOH, could you please share the info from Help - About LibreOffice ?

screen capture of the affected letters

In this screen capture you can see in the first row how the letters look when affected. The third row was also affected but not seen in the capture. Clearly it's a local problem and something related to rendering by the video hardware / software.

actual file used for demonstrating

This file was used for taking the screen capture because even if the issue it's happening, minimizing and maximizing the window or scrolling up or down solves the issue. So, it's a clear problem of the rendering system in my particular hardware.

Attached a screen shot and a file. You can only see the issue in the screen shot and only in the first row.
Comment 13 BogdanB 2018-08-28 12:15:11 UTC
First line could be because of the separator of the header, and in rest it's ok. Could be because of your sistem, not Libre Office.

I attached a screnshot of your file on my Windows. See below. Everything perfect.

Yes i know, everything perfect :). Even in the screenshot was ok. I was seeing the  problem letters but in the screenshot they were ok , except for the first row. It's very strange, but i am 100% it's my system and not an actual bug of LibreOffice. Thank you very much for the support

Welcome. I'm new helping others here on bugs at the Libre Office. I suppose I have 2 weeks since I'm a volunteer. But it is very interesting. You could get involved also. Download different versions and test the suggested user steps, discovering where the problem is from.
