------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 18 12:45:41 +0000 2008 ------- For RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, OpenOffice in general fails to correctly direct the interface because it doesn't correctly implement the BiDi algorithm. http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/ In particular, neutral characters such as the dot "." and parentheses are not correctly displayed. In issue #84553. A quick solution was to set the BiDi preferences of the widget in question. This is more of a hack and needs to be done in numerous places anywhere text appears. Forcing translators to use RLE or RLM should not be needed either.
