Public bug reported:
Kword does not display Japanese text correctly. In case of a paragraph
with two (or more) lines, sometimes the characters at the end of the
first, or the beginning of the next line are not shown. They are there,
however: if characters are deleted from the first line, the missing
characters appear. Also, if the cursor is placed at the beginning of the
second line, and backspace is pressed repeatedly, then the missing
characters are deleted first, before the cursor goes back to the end of
the first line.
After many attempts to reproduce the bug, I have found that the culprit
may be the "small" characters, like the sokuon (っ, "small tsu"), or ゃ
(small "ya"), ゅ (small "yu") and the ょ (small "yo") character. If they
fall to the end of a line, they just disappear, along with the next
character (at least for me). Changing anti-aliasing or hinting has no
effect on this behavior.
In the next comment I am attaching a document. It contains two
paragraphs that contain the same text, only the second has more あ ("a")
characters, so that the sokuon is not at the end of the line. Feel free
to experience with it. For example, if the characters in the first line
are deleted until the sokuon appears at the end of the line, than 'a'
(Latin alphabet) is inserted, the sokuon is pushed half into the margin;
next 'a' will make it disappear entirely. Half-width katakana
characters have the same effect.
