After upgrading 24.2.5.2 to 24.8.0.3, links in a line with an initial Hebrew characters are not shown

Attached an odt file, and two screenshots. The 1st screen shot shows how the attached file looks with 24.2.5.2. The 2nd screenshot shows how the attached file looks with 24.8.0.3.
Can you reproduce the issue, or otherwise comment?

By 24.2.5.2 I mean
Version: 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 420(Build:2)
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
24.2.5-2
Calc: threaded

By 24.8.0.3 I mean
Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 480(Build:3)
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
24.8.0-1
Calc: threaded
libreofficeissue.odt (14.0 KB)


  1. Upgrading to 24.8.0-2, that is

    Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
    Build ID: 480(Build:3)
    CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
    Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
    24.8.0-2
    Calc: threaded

    does not make any difference. The difference between 24.8.0-1 and 24.8.0-2 is -2 uses internal box2d because

    libreoffice is not compatible with box2d v3 yet.

  2. Another note is the demontration file libreofficeissue.odt can be quite easily modified in a way that it will not be opened by LibreOffice 24.8.0-2 at all. I assume -1 will have the same bad behavior. For example, by dropping the initial ’ א’.

Hello @YjRk2 ,

Please consider filing this bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/

At any rate - I can’t reproduce with a recent nightly:

Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 7ae0542f7208573b18dadb0dee550f34ce8e41f4
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Can reproduce with the 24.8.0.3 release build; but problem is fixed in the latest 24.8 branch build. See:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162680

and you can download the latest 24.8 branch build from:

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-24-8/

to test.

Bottom line is I couldn’t get a pre made executable to test with.

  1. At Index of /daily/libreoffice-24-8/ I chose Index of /daily/libreoffice-24-8/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF/. There I went to Index of /daily/libreoffice-24-8/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF/current/. There are many files there but only LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz and LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb_sdk.tar.gz looks promising. I tried several files from LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz, but none were helpful. Am I on the right track?
  2. I thought I managed to find soffice.bin, or something similar, for libreoffice 25. I couldn’t run it because of a missing dependency. Now I can not find where I downloaded it from.

If your distro uses APT (e.g. Debian-based):

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-24-8/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF/current/LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz

If it uses RPM (e.g. RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, etc.):

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-24-8/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb99-TDF/current/LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

you get either DEB or RPM files. Then you install them. The installation directory is /opt/libreofficedev24.8/ and the binary is /opt/libreofficedev24.8/program/soffice.bin

That does not looks to me the way to go.
Despite my distribution is neither Debian-based, nor using RPM, I can use familiar Unix tools. Starting by running tar -xf over LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz, there are many debs files in a single DEBS directory. By using ar I extracted soffice.bin and the soffice shell script out of LibreOfficeDev_24.8.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/libreofficedev24.8_24.8.2.0.0-1_amd64.deb. Neither of them worked. Each one gave an error message, and exited.
I am giving up for now, waiting for my distribution to release a newer package. Unless someone will come up with a short way to check a newer version.

Fair enough. Sorry, they don’t provide builds for everything. And building yourselves is kind of a hassle. I’m sure they’ll release an update in not-a-very-long-while. Thanks for reporting the problem.
