Chinese character "婀" in LibreOffice 3.6

In LibreOffice 4.0 new Widget layout technique for dialog windows introduced,but we ran into some trouble.
step.1 from Insert>Special Character
step.2 select any CJK Character,then we can see the preview of Chinese character or Japanese character were not completely,the left side or right side of a character preview may be cropped

Same problem with Jamrul_Bengali_U_0982

I don't have Chinese fonts, but I can confirm the bug under Debian GNU/Linux 64, KDE, LiBo 4.0.0RC1 using Jamrul font, Bengali subset and i.e. U+0982 character (just select a large one to see the bug)
Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2013-04-08 13:28:47 UTC
The worst of these problems were addressed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-4-0&id=b43bd72c7d81b58c5f58a5c29fab7982878b5f63 so it should look better now. There is still scope for improvement though.

I think the major problem is already improved in 4-0, and the above should sort of the remaining edge cases.
