Using Alt + e.g. 262 produces ♠ but introduces other hidden characters resulting in strange editing. Problem disappears on reversion to version 5.0.2
I get no problems. I have got Windows 7 and LO5.1 and LO5.2. Which Windows version do you use? Do you see the problem only in Writer or in Calc or Impress too? Do you insert the character in a normal text or into some special area like table cell or field? Do you have tested other applications, e.g. Windows "Editor"? What do you mean by "strange editing" in detail?

Unfortunately I cannot answer because I have reverted to 5.0.1.2 > Do you insert the character in a normal text or into some special area like > table cell or field? In a table cell, together with other text. If I paste text from EditPad Lite, which already contains suit symbols, these do appear > Do you have tested other applications, e.g. Windows "Editor"? Fine if I insert when using EditPad or Wordpad - the latter even gets the colours right! > What do you mean by "strange editing" in detail? It's very hard to describe, but the cursor advances from the position where I place it and then, instead of allowing me to insert characters, deletes them
Peter: you can use this tool to easily install versions in parallel: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/SI-GUI Please test with 5.1.x.
Fixed :-)
Oh, ok! Let's close as WFM, then.
