--- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- The other bug report (Bug 146154) is indeed very similar. You should note that there are two different issues: 1. the way highlighting changes direction with the direction of the text 2. the fact that ltr selection in mixed direction paragraph (starting with rtl text) caused an inverted selection to appear - all the document except the needed selection in Bug 146154 the last comment refers to issue #1 stating that it is NOTABUG, which is correct, at least partially. you can see in the video (or try for yourself in the attached document) that when selecting continuously it is not working correctly. when the cursor reaches the rtl text, the entire rtl text is selected, and as the selection progresses the highlighting disappears (inverted) until, finally, when the entire rtl text is selected - it is highlighted again. this is indeed a bug. as for issue # 2, it is definitely a bug, and a very annoying one. it is extremely hard to edit mixed direction text (as are most academic manuscripts) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
