Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.28.3-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
As reported upstream since Pango 1.23.x in GNOME #576156, cursor movement
on Thai leading/following vowels introduced in that version has been
counter-intuitive to Thai users. Instead of moving cell by cell, it skips
leading and following vowels, causing unexpected editing behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576156
This bug has also caused failed tests on Mozilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474068
The same problem has been fixed elsewhere, including Chromium browser
and ICU, but not Pango. Instead, upstream insists on conformance to
Unicode Annex #29, no matter how it's against all practical uses on earth,
such as evidences shown in Mozilla bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474068#c65
UAX#29 amendments have been proposed for many times, but got rejected.
The last hope is that my recent evidences could convince the committee.
It's under progress, BTW.
Meanwhile, I have maintained my patched package in a local repository
for Thai users, with rebuilding on every sid update for the past 2 years,
as also mentioned in Bug #620001 and #620002:
http://ftp.debianclub.org/debclub/pool/main/p/pango1.0/
It should be good to get the patch included in sid, to get the downstream
difference reduced, until the necessary action is taken upstream (both
Unicode and GNOME).
