Subject: [Issue 32179] parenthesis are revesersed when they have arabic text in between in the dialog boxes Date: Yaum al-Sabt 20 Jumaada al-Thaani 1425 01:11 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32179 ------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 6 18:11:13 -0700 2004 ------- As you mentioned, hdu, in your comment: "the first characters determine the paragraph direction". I am not a Unicode guru but I will try to explain it. For the next button, it starts with a "strongly" right-to-left Arabic character and characters with a weak bidirectional type determine their directionality according to their proximity to other characters with strong directionality. As Unicode loves to say: Uppercase letters stand for right-to-left characters, while lowercase letters stand for left-to-right characters English: next >> memory: NEXT >> display: << TXEN This how Qt/GTK-based apps behaves nowadays. KDE for example, has an Add >> and << Remove buttons that behaves properly (hint: $kcmshell keyboard_layout) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
