In Writer, if a line ends with hidden characters, attempting to type on the line below that line behaves strangely. The first keystroke disappears and the cursor jumps up to the beginning of the line containing the hidden characters and then subsequently typed characters are visible. Replication of the problem: 1. Type this text on a new line: Hidden text follows: abcdefghijklmnop 2. Select the characters abcdefghijklmnop by holding the shift key down while using the left arrow key 3. Using the menu, select Format, Character, check Hidden and click OK 4. On the keyboard, press the Home key 5. On the keyboard, press the End key 6. On the keyboard, press the Enter key 7. Type this text: qrstuvwxyz 8. Observe that the "q" has disappeared and that the rstuvwxyz are at the beginning of the line entered in step #1. 9. On the keyboard, press the End key. 10. On the keyboard, holding the shift key down, press the arrow left key 11. Using the menu select Format, Character 12. Observe that the hidden text shows the characters abcdefghijklmnop and that the letter q is missing.
Thank you, Larry, for a clear bug report. Just to be picky, I note the need for step: 11.1. In tab "Font Effects", unselect Hidden. I confirm seeing the problem on Windows in Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: b167d1127e1579468a74c4414e7f4f33d9d24122 TinderBox: Win-x86@51-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2014-11-02_03:04:44 and on Linux in daily dbgutil bibisect version 2014-11-03 and in the 43all bibisect repository version oldest.
