Description: Vertical orientated text has wiggling letters Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached file 2. Press and hold d 3. You might use undo/redo.. Notice that the letters spacing on insertion not always the same (shifting occurs) Highlighting has no function.. except highlighting the existing D -> The same has been illustrated in plenty of forms and ways.. so not unique.. but I like having various examples. As the behaviour sometimes appears to be a regression (but simply uncovered pre-existing behaviour) Actual Results: Spacing sometimes different Expected Results: Not so Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 93115d2c54d645bcf2f80fde325e3ede39dee4d5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL Versie: 4.4.7.2 Build ID: f3153a8b245191196a4b6b9abd1d0da16eead600 Locale: nl_NL and in LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735

Not seeing any h-spacing or baseline alignment deviations in the run of vertical text. Windows 10 (21H1) with Intel Iris GPU Version: 7.2.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 02b2acce88a210515b4a5bb2e46cbfb63fe97d56 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Nor with Skia/Raster nor with default GDI rendering.

REPRODUCIBLE (more or less) with Installation of Version:7.2.1.2 (x64); Build ID: 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22; CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE; Calc: threaded. Visibility (and may be exitence) of the problem depends on zoom. With my particular configuration, sample document and zoom 271% (optimum width) for example I see that every third "d" I insert at the top left start position the distance between first and second "d" becomes a little less. Similar effects at other positions. But: The flaw is not limit to such vertical orientated characters. With sample document: 1. select all 2. 'Format -> character -> Position -> Rotation = 0' 3. Click "Right bound" icon so that text ("d") moves to right margin 4. <End> key so that caret flashes right from "d" » with a little luck you will see the varying distances between the characters in the "ddd...." line. 😥 If not you might be lucky with changing zoom. I wonder whether there already is another Bug for this ...
(In reply to Rainer Bielefeld Retired from comment #7) > I wonder whether there already is another Bug for this ... Well the problem is certainly not unique. I'm have reported the same thing in multiple tickets (to prevent a mess in a single ticket; however tremendous amount will be duplicates in hindsight). I still asking myself what the core problem is, or maybe even multiple causes mixed together We have floating point glyph positioning hypothesis (bug 103322) another possibility would be influence of text portions (and RSID tags) (bug 140161) Screen DPI/zoom-level are is mixed into this also [which suggests rounding]. And the situation apparently improves with high resolution monitors Which makes me think why use some high internal resolution for the calculations for low DPI screens [say 300 dpi], and downsize it for the paint to 96 DPI as a lazy work-around. More in-depth research is needed. I'm only scratching at the surface
