[sabine <a4a43959@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

thank you for the speedy reply.

I am typing in Secwepemctsin (or shuswap). I downloaded aboriginal font
from language geek years agao, and I am running two special characters with
recorded macros (so after typing a letter it puts a comma on top or behind
the letter just typed by pressing the assigned key (F3 or F5). This has
been working well until about Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 ( don't remember
exactly when the problem started).
I am attaching a file, so you can see it for yourself, the scrambled words
are highlighted yellow. (the offending character is one of the diacritical
marks, and I am writing in Aboriginal Sans).
Meanwhile, I also filed a bug-repoert with LibreOffice, and I found 3
log-files about a Java crash (I am not sure if this is even related), and
filed a bug-report with them, because it asked that of me in the log-file.

Sorry for being so long-winded and so amateurish. I apologize for my
computer-ignorance.
However, it is quite something to work on a document for many days and then
opening it again to find it scrambled and unusable. (see attached file)

Thank you for taking this seriously,

Sabine

Title:
  scrambled words in LibreOffice

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running Kubuntu (switched from Ubuntu 11.10). I am preparing
  school-work and learning-materials in Libre-Office (formerly
  OpenOffice.org). I have countless hours and years of material.

  Lately certain special characters, which I have to use for the
  aboriginal language I am writing in, appear to scramble my words, and
  they become unreadable and documents are unusable.

  I do NOT know WHAT is causing this or which program is causing this,
  but it happens in LibreOffice documents (writer).

  HELP, PLEASE!!!

  I need to get this fixed in order to NOT loose a lifetime of
  documents.

  I am NOT a computer expert, so I do not know what else to do., or even
  how this is properly reported.

  THANK YOU in advance!
