------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 29 08:11:11 -0700 2005 ------- When using the cursor keys to move to next/previous cell, the direction of movement depends on the directionality of the cell (LTR - Left to Right, or RTL - Right To Left). For example, when a cell is defined to have LTR direction, and the user presses the left arrow key, the cursor moves to the previous cell (to the left). However, if a cell is set to RTL direction, and the uses presses the left arrow key, the cursor moves to the next cell (to the right). This is incorrect behavior and very confusing. The user expects the cursor keys to behave logically - progress to the next cell relative to the direction of the table, not to the next cell relative to the direction of text in the current cell. An example of how this behavior is very confusing: A user creates a table in a Hebrew document. Hebrew is an RTL language and so the direction of the document, and by default of the table, is RTL. The then selectes one of the columns and clicks the LTR tool-button, to make all cells in the column have LTR text. This is because the column is intended for email addresses, which are always in English. The user then uses the left arrow key to move from the first (right-most) column, to the next, then to the next, etc. Then the user reaches the email column (which is LTR), and again presses the left arrow key. The user expects the curosr to move to the next column - to the left, however the cursor moves to the previous column! Repeated presses on the left arrow key cause the cursor to remain "trapped" among the email column and the column that preceeds it. The solution: cursor movement between cells should depend on the direction of the table, not the direction of the text in the current cell. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
