1. A new testcase is attached, you can see that all the letters in testcase_r.docx are rendered in the wrong direction and the wrong location. 2. This appears not only when exporting to PDF, but also in the thumbnails in the home screen (screenshot attached)
Found the following: this code is in sw\source\core\text\inftxt.cxx: // Set default layout mode ( LTR or RTL ). if ( m_pFrame->IsRightToLeft() ) { m_pOut->SetLayoutMode( ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiStrong | ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiRtl ); m_pRef->SetLayoutMode( ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiStrong | ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiRtl ); m_nDirection = DIR_RIGHT2LEFT; } else { m_pOut->SetLayoutMode( ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiStrong ); m_pRef->SetLayoutMode( ComplexTextLayoutFlags::BiDiStrong ); m_nDirection = DIR_LEFT2RIGHT; } If I comment the "if" part and keep only the else, then in the exported PDF, the metafile is OK. However, this breaks other scenarios in the main display and in exported PDF. (is the export to PDF using different rendering logic?) I hope someone can find a proper fix for this.
Dear Erez W, 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! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
The Pdf is exported in files: include/vcl/pdfwriter.hxx vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter.cxx vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter_impl.cxx vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter_impl2.cxx I would expect that the fix should be in one of these files.
Still present in Version: 7.3.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1688991ca59a3ca1c74bc2176b274fba1b034928 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Step: Open attachment 152271 [details] from comment 1 (or attachment 159616 [details] from comment 10) in Word an Writer and compare result. I've changed bug summary, because PDF-Export obviously doesn't cause the problem.

The issue is only reproducible when `Anchor` is set to `As Character`. Workaround: 1. Click Right mouse button on image, 2. Select "Anchor" 3. Change "As Character" to "To Paragraoh" or "To Character"
More information about anchoring modes are available at: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/swriter/guide/anchor_object.html
