[Bug 1476265] Re: Arabic spelling suggestions appear as square characters

 

** Description changed:

  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.
+ 
+ It also happens in the Undo tooltips. When the mouse pointer is on the
+ Undo icon, the pop-up tooltip appears as square characters instead of
+ the Arabic word.
