This also affects me now on Jaunty, OpenOffice 3.0.1. It's an old system, upgraded for several years. 32bit. I believe it's the first time I'm using OpenOffice from this user. System locale and user locale is Russian.
When the cursor is after any 2 Hebrew letters (after a 2-letter word, or even inside a word after 2 letters), pressing Space, Enter or Tab changes the keyboard layout to the next layout, unless it's already English. E.g. if I have Eng, Heb, Rus layouts, and I type " אם ", the keyboard switches to Rus layout. If I then press Backspace (or move back) and press Space again, the keyboard switches to Eng. Once in Eng layout, I can press space as much as I want, it stays Eng. It's not specific to working with 3 layouts - I deleted the Heb layout, and still pressing space after 2 Hebrew letters changes layout from Rus to Eng! It doesn't happen after 1 letter or 3 letters, only 2. Weird. It happens with Space, Enter and Tab. Curiously, it does not happen with Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter. It depends on the letters, not the language assigned to them - I tried Tools->Language and choosing another language, didn't change. It seems to happen for any Right-To-Left language. I added an Arabic layout to confirm the original report - it also happens after 2 Arabic letters, or ever 1 Arabic and 1 Hebrew. Same for Farsi and Tibetan, both RTL languages. But it's not for any non-English text, because it does not happen after Russian letters. Nor is it for any CTL language, because I checked Tamil (LTR) and it doesn't happen. -- Open office change language-layout in writing 2 chr https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
