Please attach such example document itself, not only images. For people in Europa it is hard to produce Japanese text.

(In reply to Saburo from comment #5) > Sorry. > This is problem during Japanese input and cannot be provided as > documentation. I see. The screenshot uses LibreOffice on Ubuntu. Is it possible for you to test whether the error also occurs with another operating system? @Franklin: Could you please try to reproduce the problem? Or do you know someone else who can test Japanese input?

When I changed the Japanese input from "Microsoft IME" to "Google IME", it became horizontal writing like ubuntu(iBus-Mozc). It seems to be a problem peculiar to "Microsoft IME".
Created attachment 200926 [details] Tests with Windows 11 Screenshot comparing the behavior of Word vs Writer, using both the new Windows 11 IME as well as the legacy IME. There are issues in Writer. The legacy IME displays the text incorrectly. The new IME isn't vertical at all, and overlaps the text.
