1_ Visual or Logical CTL settings don't affect the "displayed" result. 2_ With the alignment set to left-to-right (ctrl+shit+A in LO Writer): 2.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, OK 2.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, OK 2.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, parenthesis inverted: pressing shift+9 shows the parenthesis that is seen over the zero in the physical US keyboard, and vice versa. 3_ With the alignment set to right-to-left (ctrl+shit+D in LO Writer): 3.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, parenthesis inverted. 3.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, parenthesis inverted. 3.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, OK. I am not sure which behavior should be exactly the "adequate" one, specially when I see that changing the CTL settings between "Visual" and "logical" doesn't seem to affect the result. In any case, this seems to be a bug and should be reported.
