Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable invisible characters
2. Type some text
3. The letters will jiggle.

Here's a video to demonstrate the effect: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15624590/LO_letter_jiggle.mov

Expected behavior: They shouldn't jiggle. It should be the same as when you disable the invisible characters.

I can reproduce using 3.6.4.3 and 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 699132c269a6c6d9e815fc582e2e6a106e46923)
TinderBox: MacOSX-Intel@1-built_no-moz_on_10.6.8, Branch:master, Time: 2012-12-27_01:05:51

When you hit 'space' the previous word(s)/letters would jiggle.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.2 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
 If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   Update the version field
   Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

Since there is no specific commit fixing this issue, setting to WORKSFORME. FIXED is used only when a commit exists.

Feel free to reopen this issue if you still can reproduce this particular problem or if I did miss something peculiar.
