Package: libpango1.0-0 Version: 1.28.3-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch As reported upstream since Pango 1.23.x in GNOME #576156, cursor movement on Thai leading/following vowels introduced in that version has been counter-intuitive to Thai users. Instead of moving cell by cell, it skips leading and following vowels, causing unexpected editing behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576156 This bug has also caused failed tests on Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474068 The same problem has been fixed elsewhere, including Chromium browser and ICU, but not Pango. Instead, upstream insists on conformance to Unicode Annex #29, no matter how it's against all practical uses on earth, such as evidences shown in Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474068#c65 UAX#29 amendments have been proposed for many times, but got rejected. The last hope is that my recent evidences could convince the committee. It's under progress, BTW. Meanwhile, I have maintained my patched package in a local repository for Thai users, with rebuilding on every sid update for the past 2 years, as also mentioned in Bug #620001 and #620002: http://ftp.debianclub.org/debclub/pool/main/p/pango1.0/ It should be good to get the patch included in sid, to get the downstream difference reduced, until the necessary action is taken upstream (both Unicode and GNOME).
