When OS locale is set to Thai, numbers in various places will be displayed using
Thai digits. This has been tested on Windows and Linux. I also found the same
problem with other locales that have non-ASCII digits, such as Hindi and
Arabic.
It happens no matter what locale is set in 'Tools/Options/Language
Settings/Languages/Locale setting', even when 'Language Setting/Complex Text
Layout/Numerals' is set to Arabic, and even when 'Language
Setting/Languages/Enabled for complex text layout' is disabled.
Test cases :-
Windows:
a) Set the OS locale using 'Control Panel/Regional and Language
Options/Standards and formats'. Set it to Thai.
b) Run OOo (quickstarter may interfere with this so close it
beforehand).
Linux:
a) Set the LANG environment to Thai. Use the command-line shell, type
'export
LANG=th_TH'
b) Run 'soffice' from the same shell.
The problem will show up in :-
- Writer
a) On formatting toolbar, change the font size to any different number, then
it'll be displayed using Thai digits. Change the style to any style name with
number (e.g. Heading 1), then the number will be displayed using Thai digits
(Heading à). This is not what Thai expect. Thai rarely use Thai digits now.
They're used only in some formal text. So having Thai digits in the UI looks
strange.
b) Type some numbers in the document (e.g. 123) then export to PDF. All (ASCII)
numbers in the result pdf file will be printed using Thai digits.
- Impress
c) The numbers in the color drop-down list (e.g. Blue 7) on the line & fill
toolbar are displayed using Thai digits. This happens in Draw too.
d) Type some numbers in the presentation. They'll be displayed using Thai digits
(but print correctly)
- Calc
e) Type some numbers in the data entry line, all numbers in the line will be
displayed first using Thai digits then, after a quick refresh, using ASCII
digits.
I don't think I've covered all bugs related to this problem. All are the same,
some numbers are displayed using Thai digits if the OS locale is set to Thai.
Switch the OS locale back to, says English (US) or en_US and the problems gone.
OOo has this problem since 1.1 (when it implemented the native numeral feature).
In the older versions, it also shows this behavior when print too (all ASCII
numbers printed using Thai digits, see issue 22181). But this is fixed because I
don't see it again even in Impress which display numbers using Thai digits on
screen but not in print.
