Created attachment 172135 [details] document exhibiting the issue Consider the attached document. The characters in it are set in Times New Roman, while the spaces are set in Noto Sans. While this is an artificial example, a similar situation often occurs with auto-generated documents, especially in certain RTL contexts, where the spaces between words somehow have different features than the words themselves. Anyway, when you highlight the text, you get a "jittery" vertical highlight bar: +--+ +--+ | | | | ---+ +-------+ +---- ---+ +-------+ +---- +--+ +--+ which is annoying. It would also be somewhat annoying if the extensions were on _actual_ characters, but on spaces it really makes no sense. Checked with: Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US ... but I'm pretty sure this is issue goes way back.
