** Description changed:

- I run in to distorted text in LibreOffice, depending on zoom level. At
- first I thought it was a LO-bug, but now I have found that I don't get
- this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think it
- might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a Radeon
- HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540.
+ Intermittently with the same or different document in LibreOffice Calc,
+ Writer, or Impress text is distorted. The attached file shows an example
+ of the bug that I had in Calc, where the bottom right is the 'normal'
+ text. Three lines, with the bottom one in bold. Depending on the zoom
+ level, the text is distorted in appearance (bold, italic, and/or font).
  
- The attached file shows an example of the bug that I had in Calc. The
- bottom right is the 'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in
- bold. Depending on the zoom level, the text is distorted in many ways:
- bold / italic / font (appearance).
+ -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always.
+ -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
+ -This never ever happens in any other program I use.
  
- Some extra information:
- -This happens in all LO-apps I use: Calc, Writer, Impress.
- -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always. Risk factors seem to include having multiple LO-files open, especially between different apps.
- -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
- -This never ever happens in any other app / program I use.
+ WORKAROUND: Use the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx).
  
- If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, I
- apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information,
- please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

Title:
  LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of
  font, bold, italic

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Intermittently with the same or different document in LibreOffice
  Calc, Writer, or Impress text is distorted. The attached file shows an
  example of the bug that I had in Calc, where the bottom right is the
  'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in bold. Depending on
  the zoom level, the text is distorted in appearance (bold, italic,
  and/or font).

  -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always.
  -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
  -This never ever happens in any other program I use.

  WORKAROUND: Use the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx).
