Typing words containing accented letters (e.g. in French) into a table cell in Writer often results in the inversion of the order in which the letters are typed, where the accented letter moves up by one character position. For example, the word "réseau" (correctly typed) will appear as "érseau". This only occurs when typing text directly inside a table cell. It does not occur when typing text outside of a table, nor when pasting text inside a table cell. The speed at which characters are typed seems to exacerbate the problem. Pausing after typing the accented letter prevents the issue from happening but it is an annoying workaround. The speed of typing resulting in out-of sequence characters makes this bug seem somewhat related to bug 139807.
I did not reproduce in the following environment; OS: Debian sid Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP.UTF-8); UI: ja-JP Calc: threaded I don't know how to type in French, so it could be the effect of copy-pasting.
Indeed, the problem only occurs when typing directly, not through copy-paste. After checking out this bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136687 which is similar, I confirm that unchecking "Track Changes / Show" greatly reduces the propensity of the problem, but does not eliminate it.
I can't repro. I tried with track changes recording and showing. NixOS Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b1df9c67349cf4cc5be4128d797aefb87f50e38f CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

J-F Thibault, the new major release LO 7.5 is available now. So could you please retest and give feedback,if bug is still present there? => NEEDINFO
Changed workstation to a M1 MacBook Pro and could no longer reproduce on LibreOffice ver. 7.5.0.3.
