--- Comment #1 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- To "reproduce" this, do the following in LO and in MS Word: 1. Create a new document 2. Make your paragraph LTR 3. Be in an English keyboard layout 4. Type a 5. Be in a Hebrew keyboard layout and type ALEPH, or alternatively paste ALEPH (but don't insert it using the SCD) 6. Be in an English keyboard layout 7. Type: equals, 5 In LO, the direction of ALEPH,equals,5 will flip when you type the 5. In MS Word - it will not, provided that you were using an English keyboard layout. I believe this is due to MS Word infusing the characters with a language - and thus not treating them as purely neutral. You can verify that by selecting individual characters after pasting each additional character. In LO, the equals, for example, will start out as English, but will then become Hebrew, supposedly, after typing the 5. In MS Word, the equals remains English - Word remembers that when you typed it, you were typing English. Mike notes that if you're in MS Notepad - you get the same behavior as in LO, because Notepad is a plain text editor, and does not save the language a character is supposed to be in, just the characters themselves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
