Product: LibreOffice

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

Arabic text with colored characters
Description:
After the recent fixes for tdf#61444, copy & pasting text with colored
characters as unformatted text elsewhere, creates garbage rectangles for
unknown characters.
Bug 61444 - Text layout broken across formatting changes (color, underline,
etc.)
Steps to Reproduce:
You need latest build from LO 24.8 dev master sources.
1. Open attachment
2. Copy line 1
3. Open a new Writer document
4. Press ctrl+shift+v, and select "Unformatted text"
Alternatively, you can open the second attachment, which I will upload shortly.
Actual Results:
Text appears with some garbage rectangles.
Note: choosing specific fonts like "Amiri", "Noto Sans Arabic" makes the
rectangles disappear.
Expected Results:
Text should appear as normal Arabic text, without garbage rectangles. The
fallback font is sometimes a very bad selection. For example, Lohit Devanagari
with language set to Hindi in "Character > Font > Complex". But, even in this
situation, fallback font should be used to provide needed characters.
Those garbage rectangles are also visible in the PDF output. Therefore, this is
not a display-only problem.
