The problems of prentasis

[Shoshannah Forbes]

As most of you probably know, in unicode there is no such thing as "left prentesis" or "right prentesis" but "open prentesis" and "close prentesis", where the appearance is done by the renderer.

In the Israeli Hebrew Keyboard layout (at least in windows and mac OS), shift+0 should send "open prentesis" and shift+9 should send "close prentesis".

It looks like oo gets all confused here, displaying visually wrong prentesis with those keystrokes in rtl paragraphs.

It is very clear when exporting as doc and opening in word- where it displays those characters correctly.

However, as my linux box is not next to me at the moment, so I can not check- I seem to recall that the Hebrew keyboard layout from kde3 has those characters reversed, so in that case working with oo will actually give expected results (as two minuses make a plus...)

Can anyone confirms this? And is there a bug filed already about this issue?
