These two are completely different; one is not a justification for the other. > Why a couple or so more symbols suddenly making it unusable? Because it's not "a couple"; and I repeat: it is not a problem *for Western users*, but for *every user* who has to decide *if similar options for the same task, just from different cultures* fit their use case - which is 100% different from choosing from different options belonging to same culture. An Arabic user, who works with formulas following Arabic rules, needs to have a panel with the set covering *those* conventions, not Western. Yes, there may (and will) be overlap; that needs to repeat on every such panel - Western, Arabic, whatever. Greek is common? Repeat it three times. Or five times. It doesn't matter. In the end, we can invent a mechanism of automatic generation of these panels based on some "belongs to set X, Y, Z / universal" flags. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
