Still happens with LibO 3.6.3. Another thing I've noticed is that invoking any header related change (edit, delete) fixes the problem and the text reappears.

Another option is to change to print layout and back to web layout and everything looks OK.

I tested LibreOffice 5.0.1.2 on Ubuntu 14.04, and the issue still exists.

I believe this bug still exist in version 6.1.3.2. I tried it on Ubuntu 18.04 using the snap package.

Can someone please use MS Word to change this document, replacing the Hebrew text with Arabic text or even English text without changing directions, number of linesd, formatting etc?

I have a feeling this is not Hebrew-related, and perhaps not even RTL-vs-LTR related, but just a Word import issue.

Anyway, seeing this bug with

After loading example.doc, locating the phrase לסיכום המחקרים, switching to Web View and then back again to Normal View, this is what I see.

This is not a blitting glitch, or the effect of a screen refresh timeout - it stays the same even if you resize the Window, move it, change the zoom etc.

This bug still manifests with:

CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Note that, in Web View, 5 or 6 paragraphs are invisible:

* The last visible paragraph before the sequence of invisible ones says: "ורך בבנית תהליך הודעה אחיד להורים על נכות בנם"
* The first invisible paragraph says: "לסיכום המחקרים"
* The last invisible paragraph says: "תחושת קוהרנטיות נמוכה- יכולת נמוכה להבין ולהתמו'- השמה."
* The first visible paragraph after the invisible ones says: "הנכונות להשמה כפונ' של מע' תמיכה חיצוניות והשלכותיהן על תוכנית השיקום."

and this all appears close to the end of the document.
