Description Nam Quang Tran CLA 2011-12-13 16:57:15 EST 
Build Identifier: 

With the attached sample text in Devanagari, StyledText adds a strange circle to the text if a style is set - but it does not if there are no styles. The circle appears behind the styled text range; see the two screenshots.

This seems to be a Windows-specific problem; it does not occur on Linux.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See snippet and screenshots. The snippet expects the file 'test.txt' to be placed in the current working directory.

I still need to try the test case but judging from the screenshot I'd say the style is break a cluster apart.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
