Title:
  scrambled words in LibreOffice

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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!
