Hi,
When typing "o", substitution
of waw with hamzah (for alef) happens after using Backspace or Ctrl-Alt and then
Del, for example when clearing a line or the entire document in the test window,
and then typing a word beginning with "o".
"Punctuation" I referred to
includes the symbols you mentioned but also normal parentheses (as well as
numerals). I found that a trick to remove the unwanted hamzah on waw is to type
a hyphen (=pseudo-space) after this letter, but that's maybe a bit too clumsy
and definitely not Unicode-compliant ...
BTW, if you say that you support
input with a US or European keyboard, you should also reverse glyphs for
left/right parentheses, brackets, and so forth. (Using the left parenthesis key
for "opening parenthesis" and the left parenthesis key for "closing parenthesis"
may be logical when dealing with so-called "weak" characters in RTL context but
is misleading as the shapes you get are different from the shapes you
type.)
Best regards,
Peter

Could you
please specify which punct. marks? Ah yes, you must mean
things like
{}<>/. We'll look into that.

This is true. The Latin feature is intended mainly for the
occasional word,
title or place name -- but I agree the punctuation should be
correct if
possible.
