Taher Alkhateeb updated OFBIZ-4915:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Any field in a form that uses the <lookup target-form-name="WhateverForm"/>
would not return results when searching in Arabic. I suspect the main offender
is javascript/jQuery when parsing user input.
For example, if I go to https://localhost:8443/ordermgr/control/findorders and
click on "Party ID", and search the firstname or lastname in arabic, no values
are returned and the value in the search box changes from arabic to some weird
encoding ( e.g. "حسن" becomes Øس٠)
Also, after some investigation, I came to the realization that this only
happens when the lookup field has presentation="layer", if however, the
presentation="window" then it works normally which leads me to conclude
definitely that this is javascript/jQuery issue of parsing input data. More
specifically, this is javascript not processing with the correct encoding
(unicode in this case). I know this because if I paste the unicode
representation directly to the input box then it searches correctly
