3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/778979/+attachment/2119391/+files/test.odt && lowriter -nologo test.odt

double click third icon down (theta with a superscript) -> click Format -> Spacing... -> change the Spacing combo box to 200% -> OK button and the spacing between the theta and the superscript should change.

4) What happens instead is it does not budge.

WORKAROUND: Add a space in the formula.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Reproducible in:
LOdev 3.5.0beta2 
Build ID: 8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002
Comment 4 Owen Genat 2013-06-10 07:20:48 UTC
This bug has not seen an update in a while. Re-confirming that this issue still exists under GNU/Linux with TDF/LO v4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539) using either the test document from the description or a newly created document.

Screenshot in v4.1.4.2 showing correct (expected) rendering.

This bug now appears to be fixed. Under Debian 7 / Crunchbang 11 (both x86_64) using:

- v4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72
- v4.2.0.4 Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71

... I see the formulas as in the attached (v4.2.0.4 renders the same a v4.1.4.2). This seems to correct the problem noted in the screenshot in the Launchpad bug (i.e., cropping and misplacement of the superscripts and diacritics):

Can someone please test the originally provided example using a more recent build? Thanks.

Original Launchpad testcase.

Please disregard my entire comment #5. It appears the original post in the freedesktop bugzilla has the edited (fixed) testcase attached and not the original (problematic) testcase. Creating the example formulas in a new document, exhibits the same issue i.e., diacritics above Greek characters being cropped, and superscript against Greek characters being misplaced. Similarly, opening the original Launchpad testcase in v4.1.4.2 and v4.2.0.4 still shows the problem.

I am attaching the original Launchpad testcase (and obsoleting the original freedesktop attachment) for clarity.
