Not because I don't think one should handle it, but because the use cases may make us understand more what this is about and give an indication of what this could be useful for. The question of how to handle it, as I understand it, is not about the case when an element with one particular text direction is a descendant of one that is going the opposite direction and the user has selection the entire outer element, but about the case where the user selects a part of an ltr element and a part of an adjacent rtl element at the same time, correct? As for spending time on this on the editing F2F: If we manage to eliminate many of the tickets we currently have on the new editing specs before the F2F, then we should have more time for other things. It is first priority though that we do work through those things that we set out to work on (the CE Events spec and the input events spec). Many times it has now shown that we actually don't disagree about many of the issues, or can agree to a text, once we have a concrete proposal. So feel free to offer concrete proposals of how to change the spec text in the issues that are still open or by means of pull requests. That way we may be able to boil the controversies down to the things that we actually disagree on, and then focus on those at the F2F. I am fine with starting the meeting at 10 am on Sunday. . > > > -- > https://annevankesteren.nl/ > > -- Johannes Wilm Fidus Writer http://www.fiduswriter.org
