Title:
  Justifying Syriac text creates clutter in LibreOffice Writer

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Justifying a paragraph in LibreOffice Writer with text written in the
  Syriac script (Unicode block U+0700-U+074F) creates graphic clutter
  between every word. See the attached screenshot where the first
  paragraph is justified and the second is right-aligned. The second
  paragraph looks as it should, whereas the first paragraph shows a
  small line added at the end of each word. If you zoom in or out, some
  of the lines may disappear, but when you create a PDF, they are all
  there.

  The same problem occurs with nearly all the Syriac fonts I have tried,
  including Serto Batnan, Estrangelo Antioch, East Syriac Ctesiphon and
  Serto Urhoy (all part of the ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac package). For
  the last two, the clutter is not visible on screen but shows up if you
  create a PDF. With East Syriac Adiabene, the problem doesn't seem to
  occur. I have attached a screenshot, a PDF and the document used to
  create them.
