--- Comment #2 from tchris <[email protected]> --- I am not a Hebrew writer. I am attempting to clarify the original bug only. I installed the Hebrew text and keyboard handling on my Mac (OS 10.7.5) using OpenOffice 3.4. I switched back and forth from English to Hebrew keyboards in my screenshot to demonstrate inserting text into a Hebrew document. Writing one left paren shows me an inverted paren at the beginning of the Hebrew line even though I would have expected it to appear to the left side. Continuing to type moves the paren to the left side of the page and encloses the text as I would expect when I type the closing paren. If the paren ends the sentence the paren does not move to the left but remains at the beginning of the sentence. Adding punctuation after the paren does not move it. Using a paren to create an emoticon requires the user to type the reverse paren to what is desired. The emoticon remains at the beginning of the sentence instead of moving to the current place in the line. Switching to English keyboard layout in the middle of an existing Hebrew line adds the English line left to right using the proper parens. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
