The PNG file that show the problem in LibreOffice Writer 4.4

There is a major and annoying problem in LibreOffice Writer 4.4.0 with Persian scripts.

** How to produce it? **

Make the paragraph's direction "Right-To-Left" and set its "Alignment" to "Justified", then type some words in Persian script.
You'll see some letters in end of each line have extra tail that it's incorrect!

I attached an ODF, PDF and PNG files to explain it better.
I tested this with many number of fonts and problem exists yet.

I have to add "Kashida" to each line manually and it's very difficult for large documents. :-(

I'm using Unubtu 14.04 LTS on my laptop.

PDF export from 4.4.0.3

It seems I don't have the same problems, please confirm.
I also noticed that your pdf export doesn't have all the problems in the screenshot.

I downloaded the font from http://www.fonts2u.com/b-roya.font

Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit
Version: 4.4.0.3
Build ID: 40m0(Build:3)

Actually the problem is also presence of the bug your file.
In line 2: 
به، حال، گزارش، هیچ‌گاه
In line 4:
به
the five words above have the problem.
And in line 5:
دهد، این، مورد
In the three words above I think kashida is missed. characters of these word has not joined together properly.

Closing this as a duplicate of bug 35320 which deals with the same kashida justification problem of this bug.
