ODT file demonstrating the problem

When I italicize text in Times New Roman containing quotation marks, those quotation marks are offset such that they overwrite the following letter. This happens only in Times New Roman. This happens in all languages (in my particular use cases, English, Hebrew and Greek). I have attached both an original ODT file and a PDF export (the result is identical whether exported using LO's native PDF export function and printing it through CutePDF Writer).

Comment 2 William Friedman 2016-02-25 09:24:48 UTC
Finally, while this problem does not appear in any other application (e.g., Evernote, Google Docs, WordPad), I did just notice something very peculiar. In Windows 7 WordPad, when I type in Times New Roman it works as expected. But when I paste from LibreOffice, despite claiming that the text is in Times New Roman, it looks very different from typing from scratch; moreover, when I actively switch the font on the pasted text to Times New Roman, it changes appearance. Saving it in ODT from WordPad causes it all to look the same again when opened in both applications (in LibreOffice, as the screwed up Times New Roman, and in WordPad, just fine), but saving it in RTF causes it to retain the messed up appearance of the pasted text in WordPad, as does printing it to PDF in CutePDF. I am attaching here both the RTF and PDF files showing the difference between typing natively in Times New Roman (Regular & Italics) and pasting from LibreOffice.

Please note that this bug happens in *all* LibreOffice components -- Writer, Calc, and Impress.

Seems to be fixed in dev version. Please could you test with dev version?

Indeed, 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ does fix the problem in the English text, but does *not* fix the problem in the Hebrew text.

I guess this can be bibisected with this repository:
http://dev-downloads.libreoffice.org/bibisect/win/bibisect_win_44.tar.xz.
Adding keyword 'bibisectRequest'.
