Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Word boundary analysis for line breaking is essential for Thai web page
rendering, as Thai is written continuously without word delimitors.
Most Thai web pages are created based on an assumption that web browsers
are able to wrap lines properly, which is true for some popular browser,
but not for Gecko-based ones.
With the `libthai' package recently uploaded to sid (now already
migrated to etch), Thai word boundary analysis is now possible for
applications in debian. And a proposed patch for Mozilla to wrap lines
with libthai has been available at Mozilla Bug #7969 for some time.
Unfortunately, the 1.8 branch is now frozen. So, we seem to need
patching in debian.
The patch has been tested by locally distributed binary packages,
and no severe problem has been found so far.
So, please consider applying the patch, for a serious usability issue
for Thai users. The most recent patch is proposed in Comment #51:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7969#c51
and the patch is at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=220509
When applied, suggesting "libthai0" is also a good idea.

Version: 3.0.1-1
Closing this old bug, as it was fixed upstream with different approach,
based on platform word break infrastructures:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336959
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389520
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390048
The bug was fixed before 3.0 stable release, but I can't remember which beta
or RC. So, just mention the first sid version instead.
Sorry, I missed the notification message, and forgot to close this bug when
it's done.
