What is the cursor problem exactly?
Have you tried typing multilingual text in an editor like MS Windows'
Notepad? The cursor, the selection, etc, are very hard to handle easily.
You'll get mad very soon.
Yeah, that one!
And, if someone starts a list, please add the problem of selecting a mixed text (english/persian) with a mouse. No matter what you do, or how experienced you are, you'll always get surprised.And why is it hard to solve?
Because: 1) You need to remain Unicode compliant w.r.t bidi algorithm. 2) You need to edit everything, from normal text to marked up XML or LaTeX, and expected behavior is different with different kinds of text. 3) Different users have different expectations, so you need lots of configurability for different kind of users in different locales.
Is there an FAQ on open problems in Persian Computing?
No. Unless you start one.
Roozbeh, is it possible to create a wiki for persian computing? so people would describe their problems /known bugs there? or am I just talking from _the_ unpleasant organ of my body?
roozbeh
cheers, Masoud
