Summary: Non-letter characters misaligned in bidi texts
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: travis_bickl...@outlook.com
Description:
As I described here with pics:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/216996/odd-behavior-in-typing-some-characters-in-bidi-texts/
The problem occurs when users try to put ltr phrases in rtl paragraphs or vice
versa, if the boundary characters consists of non-letters characters, they
receive the direction property of the underlying paragraph. This leads to
misaligned characters in phrase.
A temporary solution is creating a strong directionality barrier between the
language sequences using Insert → Formatting mark → Left-to-right mark (this
won't work in the first line of paragraph tough, why? I don't know)
Long-term solution treating non-letters characters as letters in LO. This is
what Microsoft office does
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a rtl paragraph and write something
2. change keyboard layout and write and ltr word that negins with $ (for
expample)
3.
Actual Results:
$ will be misaligned and locates at the end of ltr word
Expected Results:
it should locate at the beginning of the word
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
