Please tell us...

* Which LibreOffice application are you using? Writer? Calc? 
* Which font are you using (for European LTR scripts and for the Arabic)?

For now, I can't reproduce.

it's calc
regarding the font, am not sure which to do to find the info

> it's calc

Can't reproduce with a recent 7.5.0.0 nightly, on Linux.

To check which font you're using, on the menus, navigate to Format | Cells, then choose the Font tab.

If you'd like to reopen, please try again with a newer version, and check whether you see this on other machines or whether it's specific to some single machine.
