Title:
document viewer search problem in right to left languages
Status in Evince document viewer:
Confirmed
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Hi
when I use the search functionality in document viewer, it searches the
letters as if they are written left to right. That is not a problem in english
or any left to right language. However, this is a problem in right to left
languages. I used it particularly with arabic but I guess it is the same for
any other right to left language.
In order for the program to detect a right to left word, the word needs to be
written in reverse in the search box.
I will give an english example since the words are easier to understand by
everyone but the problem actually only occurs with right to left languages.
if I want to search for the word 'hello', I need to type it in reverse as
'olleh' in the search box.
I am using ubuntu 12.04.
Thank you in advance
