Well, the main bug that sucks in, as a black hole, all the other bugs
regarding combination of L2R, R2L and neutral characters is: "[Issue 18024] -
Direction of weak characters: A new method for dealing with text direction
without using keyboard layout"
see: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18024
The resolution of this issue suppose to solve the control over
directionallity, if I understand it correctly.
Unfortunately, the solution that is going to be implemented relies on the
OS IME (like in Win2K and beyond), and it leaves the rest of us (*nix, Win9x)
out in the cold.
IMHO you raised a valid point, because control over text directionality isn't
a nicety. Its a necessity, and I for any solution that will solve this
problem on all platforms.
