There is similar problem https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106653 and it may be has been solved but it not in Tex Box so I think the problem I reported here is different
Comment 4 Dieter 2021-05-02 10:54:15 UTC
I confirm it with

Version: 7.1.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fa76d07d7006a0e2866c3247cef2d5eb55ae8369
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: threaded

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attachment 166412 [details]
2. Compare text in TextBox with text ouside TextBox (see attachment 166413 [details]) => Text in textbox has some mistakes
3. Copy text from texbox and paste it outside => Misteakes disappear

Gaps with LO 7.5 dev output

Reproduced with the latest LO 7.5 dev master:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community

CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

There were several of these in the console output:

Oops. I was testing with unreleased version of Amiri that has Kashida glyph (released versions has a hack for bad Kashida insertion in LibreOffice that recent code changes made it unnecessary), so I missed a typo in the code.
