screen shot of cursor problem for RTL languages of libreoffice

Dear Libreoffice :)
My local language setting is Farsi(Persian). i have a cursor problem with this RTL language. "ا" is a charachter of Farsi alphabetic and when cursor is on it i can't know, whether the cursor is after or before this character. i have provided an screen shot that might help. i would be very happy if this bug fixes in future releases :)
Thanks for your great libre app.

Hi Mohsen,

Thanks for reporting this bug.

We'll try our best to get it solved.

hi

i think this is not a bug because it work as it expected.
the cursor suppose to be on the beginning of the character drawing
if it is before this character.

So, from the screen shot the cursor is before this "ا" char.
And if the cursor is after it, it suppose to be on the beginning of the next character.

Please give it a closer look, the cursor is standing partially on the letter not exactly behind the letter.

I'm marking it as reopened!!!

:P

cursor after the letter, Writer

Also there is a small space between the cursor and the last letter (compare it with Mousepad)

We need QA to confirm this (again perhaps) moving to UNCONFIRMED as REOPENED is incorrect. Thanks
