Created attachment 187495 [details] Video showing the problem In Impress, when you click a text object to edit its text, the text wiggles right/left and some rows move up/down. This problem happens with various fonts and in almost all my documents. See attached video for an example of the issue (comparison between Impress and Power Point). Notice that in Impress (first part of the video) some characters wiggle to the right and some rows are moved down, whereas in Power Point there's no wiggling.

I do see some rows move up/down (it' caused by the frame border appearing/disappearing). There should be a report about this somewhere No wiggling glyphs on macOS Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1cfeb4bd8ce7f7727a81136bd3e2d6ebea976895 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.6.3; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I only see changes in the lines, not between characters. There is (at least) bug 89060 which was originally about characters, but was changed to be about lines.

With the sample document, I see a whole row move up in 7.4.0.3, and it changes to many characters moving independently in 7.5.9 (same in recent master build). Would be good to bibisect when exactly that changed (although I'm not calling it a regression).

Actually, I'm calling it a regression because the vertical movement of some whole lines remains, but now we have independent movement of characters on top of it. A minor issue in my opinion, but it has become more distracting. Seen in gen, gtk3, kf5 VCL plugins. Bibisected with linux-64-7.5 repo to first bad build [5e9e431b4a9bc67357adaf635c34bdfd3ee61321] which is: commit 1fa731d03ba0f22cb9392a578124ea977eaab2e9 author Caolán McNamara Tue Aug 16 23:39:53 2022 +0100 committer Caolán McNamara Thu Aug 18 20:30:33 2022 +0200 tdf#150462 don't prescale dxarray before using DrawTextArray Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/138448 Caolán, can you please have a look?
I don't see any change anymore. Can everyone please retest?

Is there a sample file with an embedded font? I don't have "Avenir Next LT Pro" on my system
(In reply to Telesto from comment #9) > Is there a sample file with an embedded font? I don't have "Avenir Next LT > Pro" on my system https://github.com/Zveroslav/Avenir-Next-LT-PRO/tree/master/AvenirNextLTPro I installed the regular. It was not picked up by Impress with the example file due to a name difference, but I directly formatted it. Still no wiggling.
