Confirming with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 92b0b8d78d69bd917842b09af7888b402144baeb
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.4; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Doesn't need to be Asian font, even just opening the Insert Special Character dialog is enough to show the artefact on the Subset dropdown menu (default Liberation Serif font).
Comment 3 Thorsten Wagner 2020-01-01 13:01:40 UTC
To fix this issue investigation points to the following two files: vcl/inc/osx/salnativewidgets.h and vcl/osx/salnativewidgets.cxx:

(1) Throughout code mainly derived from OpenOffice Aqua porting effort there are many offsets by some pixels to refect special situations when rendering some widgets.

(2) To fix this issue a consistent approach to calculate and render all Carbon widgets is helpful.

To implement a consistent approach, both files vcl/inc/osx/salnativewidgets.h and vcl/osx/salnativewidgets.cxx have been reworked completely (a patch will be committed to Gerrit in short). Appoach to calculate widget bounds have been documented within vcl/osx/salnativewidgets.cxx.

There are issues with RTL text no releated to this patch (e.g. garbeled display of listbox/combobox dropdown windows) - will file separate Bugzilla issues.
Comment 4 Thorsten Wagner 2020-01-01 15:10:28 UTC
Patch submitted to Gerrit: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/86066

Patch should resolve the following issues:

(1) Alignment of combobox dropdown window (see screenshots 1 without/with patch)

(2) Alignment of listbox dropdown window and listbox control after displaying dropdown window (see screenshots 2 without/with patch and screenshots 5 without/with patch)

(3) Left alignment of editboxes and comboboxes/listboxes (see screenshots 3 without/with patch)

(4) Rendering of spinbox within toolbar (see screenshots 4 without/with patch)

(5) Left alignment of spinboxes and editboxes/comboboxes/listboxes (see screenshots 6 without/with patch)

(7) Native right-handed disclosure triangle on RTL UIs (see screenshots 7 without/with patch)

(8) Vertical centering of progress indicator (e.g. when loading files, no screenshot)
