--- Comment #14 from [email protected] --- Created attachment 183204 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=183204&action=edit Lines mark approximate cursor positions for middle hebrew paragraph Replyig to Eyal Rozenberg from comment 13: The shifting does not affect the cursor position. Or it does so negligibly. What gets shifted is the glyph positions. Not the cursor positions. Consider the picture in the attachment. It has the 2nd Hebrew paragraph. And some thin blue lines added by me. Those lines were drawn by hand. Which is why they are only approximation. They should have been vertical. They are not. Only close to vertical. They should have been placed at the cursor positions. They are not. I positioned the cursor. Then, in order to draw the line, I had to open a menu. Which made me use the mouse. And that moved the cursor with the mouse, and changed it shape. Never the less, I hope these lines are good approximation for what follows. Let us mark the longest blue line as line #0. It marks the cursor position when the cursor is at the right edge of the paragraph. The next blue line, line #-1, is much shorter then line 0. It is positioned where the cursor gets to when I move it from position 0 one place to the left. Line -2 is where the cursor gets when it is moved another step to the left. And so on. As you see, I had no patient, and time, to mark lines all the way further. But I move the cursor one step to the left to see the if what follows does feet. What all this summaries to? If I could move the א in between line 0 and line -1, it looks as if its width will fill the distance between those two line. Between line -1 and line -2 I would put the space that is supposedly the shift at line 0. I will then move the ב in between line -2 and -3. It looks as if its width fills the gap between this 2 lines. Try that yourself. Move the cursor slowly one position to the left, and try to estimate if the gap between its current, and previous, position is suitable for the next glyph. The way I see it, the cursor position is correct. The glyph should follow it. And they are not. It is mainly the glyph positions that get shifted. Not the cursor position. As an aside, I tried to have the page use a built in grid. And failed. Is that a bug, or a wrong usage on my part? As a 2nd aside, perhaps the gutter that was added to version 7.4 is the source of our trouble? This is just a guess. Just trying to see what has changed from earlier versions, where there was no such problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
