Please read bug 328834 for a full explanation. The spec linked to in that bug doesn't exist at the given URI, but there's a version of it at http://www.qsm.co.il/Hebrew/logicUI22.htm That said, I see when experimenting with the testcase on different builds that what we are doing is not what the spec says: for example the caret doesn't move at all on the first backspace which undermines a large part of the rationale for the double backspace. ehsan, what is your opinion on the debate here and in bug 328834?

Not to mention for interoperability with other browsers and mobile OSs. There are a number of possibilities: 1) Remove bidi.edit.delete_immediately and the logic handling it completely. 2) Set bidi.edit.delete_immediately to true by default 3) Set bidi.edit.delete_immediately to true by default on some platforms (e.g. mobile) only Any others?

Sometimes this problem happens reversely for someones. It means, they can delete a Persian character by pressing only one backspace but when they want to delete an English one, they have to press backspace two times. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1405930 Title: must press backspace twice to delete one Persian/Arabic character To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1405930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
