------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 6 11:41:46 +0000 2008 ------- @ayaniger: We really should look at this problem in a broader scope, as different similar issues came up in the past. Because of the additional directional information that MS uses, similar problems may occur, if there are weak characters on the boundary of RTL and LTR runs, and the paragraph direction of OOo flips them to the opposite direction. So theoretically speaking, there are really a lot of cases where this matters. On the other hand in practice, cases like the one in the current bugdoc with trailing weak characters are probably the most common. To be most precise, the import (and this is probably necessary for all MS format imports, rtf, doc, docx etc, and even copy/pasting text) should evaluate the extra directional information and compare it to our bidi behavior. In simple cases like the current one, the best fix would be to import the paragraph as RTL, because this is what is logically intended. (It is just badly formatted.) If possible, this should be preferred to cluttering the text with RLMs. In more exotic cases with changes between LTR and RTL runs, it might be inevitable to insert RLMs or LRMs. To sum up, probably there will be need to clarify this translation process generally, before it could be implemented into different filters. But this could dramatically improve the import performance of OOo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
