Description: When we use LibreOffice 7.0.3.1 to type Sanskrit text, the Geometric Shape dotted circle $25CC always gets inserted. The Mark diacritic is not attached to the Base glyph. 1. This happens when we use Insert Special Character. Since Sanskrit has a large number of diacritic marks, vowels, etc. that is the only way to completely input a page of Sanskrit text. 2. It does not happen if we use a special keyboard IME that contains the diacritics and we type the base glyph and the mark glyph, without having to use Insert Special Character. 3. This issue was not present in LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 4. After the upgrade to 7.0.3.1, we can no longer type legitimate Sanskrit text. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert क Unicode $0915 2. Insert ा Unicode $093E 3. The result got is क ा instead of का Actual Results: $0915 + $25CC + $093E Expected Results: $0915 + $093E Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: 1. Since $0915 is defined as a Base glyph and $093E is a Mark, it should get attached without the INVALID combining symbol intervening. 2. Only a single glyph is mentioned here. However the problem is with any and all combinations of Base and Mark diacritics in Sanskrit. 3. This issue is not present in 6.4.7.2 and that is working excellently. 4. In 7.0.3.1 it gets attached when we use a Sanskrit IME keyboard that contains both $0915 and $093E.
Ashwini, unfortunately nobody could confirm this bug report during the last months. So I'd like to ask, if it is still valid. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? 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.

This bug is serious. It is present in latest Release 7.1.5.2 as well. It was not there in old version 6.4.7.2
It works OK for me in Version: 7.3.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f246aa12d0eee4a0f7adcefbf7c878fc2238db3 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Can you re-test? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

I see from your screenshot that you use Skia with Vulkan. Could you try turning it off in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ View ?
Ashwini emailed me privately to say that deactivating Skia does not help.
Ashwini, any changes in latest version of LO (LO 7.6)? => NEEDINFO
We can close this bug for now. Thanks. Jai Gurudev
(In reply to Ashwini from comment #9) > We can close this bug for now. Thanks. Jai Gurudev Can you explain why? The bug disappeared? I am confused by why you want to use wontfix status.
I was emailed privately that the problem persists

I can’t reproduce this either. I thought it might be related to use of direct formatting in Special Character dialog, but no combination of font or characters I tried reproduced the dotted circle. So unless someone can provide reproducible steps (possibly even a screen recording of the steps) and a document showing the dotted circle, I don’t think there is much point in keeping this open.
Since this bug was filed, there have been many changes to complex text layout. I do not believe it is possible to reproduce the dotted circle output from the original screenshots anymore. However, the root cause was, and still is, the Insert Special Characters dialog inserting diacritics in a span separate from the base text due to direct formatting. We already have several open/unconfirmed bugs dealing with this design choice specifically, so I'm marking this as a duplicate. Of them, I think bug 155274 is the best fit. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 115274 ***
