Bug ID: 458442 Summary: Arabic keyboard layout sends ligatures as one character (Laa Problem) Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: input Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: avidseek...@protonmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY KDE sends [Arabic ligature glyphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet#Ligatures) as a single glyph. For example, Laa+Alif ligature "لا" (U+0644, U+0627) is sent as "ﻻ" (U+FEFB), and similarly for (ﻷ، ﻵ، ﻹ). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Settings > Keyboard > Add default Arabic layout 2. Type "ﻻ" (i.e: "b" in QWERTY keyboards) OBSERVED RESULT Output is ﻻ (U+FEFB) EXPECTED RESULT Output is لا (U+0644, U+0627). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS All latest update ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To clarify for English, this is like having a key to type a ligature. Say that you want to press "b" to type two characters: "fi" but instead you get "fi" as a single character. This is exactly what's happening with Arabic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
