------- Additional comments from y...@openoffice.org Fri Oct 30 06:28:21 +0000 2009 ------- >From Mati Allouche: a) I think that parentheses belong to the encompassing text and not to the text included within. As proof, consider the following logical string (where upper case represents Hebrew letters), displayed in a LTR paragraph: eng1 eng2 (HEB3 HEB4) eng5 eng6 If the whole string is displayed on one line, as shown below eng1 eng2 (4BEH 3BEH) eng5 eng6 it does not matter if the left parenthesis is an open parenthesis associated with the English text or a closing parenthesis associated with the Hebrew text and subject to symmetric swapping (and reversely for the right parenthesis). But if the string is broken into 2 lines, associating the parentheses with the encompassing text will display as eng1 eng2 (3BEH 4BEH) eng5 eng6 while associating the parentheses with the inner text will display as eng1 eng2 3BEH) (4BEH eng5 eng6 I think that the first display is the preferred one. b) The problem does not seem to be related to directionality, but to the algorithm for determining line breaks (it might be that the algorithm considers directional runs boundaries as allowed break points). Why this algorithm behaves differently for LTR and RTL text, at least when parentheses are concerned, is part of the issue. c) If the problem is not related to directionality, changing the Bidi properties of parentheses is not going to fix it. d) Changing the Bidi properties of any character to values different from specified by Unicode is a bad idea anyway. I hope that there is no need to justify this statement. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
