Description befsztyk33 2023-02-05 13:00:01 UTC
Description:
I tried to insert a special character in Writer. I tried by clicking the 'Insert special characters' icon in the toolbar (and then I clicked 'more characters' field) and by selecting "insert'--> 'special character' in the options at the top. In both cases I was shown a huge menu with enormous special characters (size approx ten times bigger than usual). Characters in each line are squeezed together, don't appear as separate entities.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click 'Insert Special Characters'
2.Choose 'More Characters'
3.You see the problem clearly

Actual Results:
Special characters shown in the table are way too big, approx 10 times bigger than they ought to be. They are squeezed together (horizontally), no space between individual characters.

Expected Results:
Special characters should have the same size as in the previous versions of Libre Office Writer. Each character should be shown in its cell, not 'squeezed together' with the rest in the line.


Reproducible: Always
