Description: When highlighting characters in italics, the preceding italicized characters are cropped erroneously, whereas setting the background color yields pristine results. Steps to Reproduce: Consider the following to be an arbitrary sample: 1. Set font to Liberation Serif. 2. Type a capital 'K' in italics. 2. Type a capital 'L' and make the 'L' subscript (non-italic or italic). 3. Highlight both characters. Actual Results: The upper right serif of the 'K' is clipped erroneously. In general, the previous character is truncated erroneously. Expected Results: Like the Background Color function does. (This is a bad workaround since it colors the whole paragraph's background.) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Use Microsoft Word as a possible reference.

For those who might dismiss this bug as insignificant, I added a second attachment where the K has been changed in a V so that the ugliness becomes more obvious. Furthermore, a Formula Object isn't highlighted at all which is also displayed in my second attachment.
