Public bug reported:

Libreoffice PPA https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Version: 4.4.4.3
Build ID: 40m0(Build:3)
Locale: en_GB.UTF-8
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

When writing in Arabic in Writer, spelling suggestions appear as square characters. For example, when writing the first letters of a weekday (السبت), a small pop-up which have square characters appears. When I press Enter, the weekday is inserted correctly.
So, I believe that Writer correctly recognises Arabic words but only fails to display them properly. Probably an encoding problem with displaying these pop-up spelling suggestions.
