Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.1.2 Hebrew parentheses bug
I just updated to LO 4.1.2 (English US) on Intel Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the parentheses mapping for Hebrew text seems to be broken. When I switch the input language to Hebrew, the parentheses are reversed when I use the Times New Roman font... However, some Hebrew fonts appear to be working properly. Could this be a continuation of this problem: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/18912/bidirectional-text-and-clo sing-bracket-bug/ The most logical way to map the parenthesis is that the button 9 should give a left parenthesis and the button 0 should give a right parenthesis, regardless of OS input language, document language, or text direction. This is the way Hebrew behaves in other Mac applications such as TextEdit and Mail... Please advise whether this bug is able to be fixed, and if there is anything I can do on my install to fix it. Thank you in advance for your time and attention. Best regards, Gabriel Kaufman Here is my current experience with LO 4.1.3.1 under Windows, using a physical US keyboard layout (so left-parenthesis is physically located at shift+9 and right-parenthesis is located at shift+zero): 1_ Visual or Logical CTL settings don't affect the displayed result. 2_ With the alignment set to left-to-right (ctrl+shit+A in LO Writer): 2.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, OK 2.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, OK 2.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, parenthesis inverted: pressing shift+9 shows the parenthesis that is seen over the zero in the physical US keyboard, and vice versa. 3_ With the alignment set to right-to-left (ctrl+shit+D in LO Writer): 3.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, parenthesis inverted. 3.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, parenthesis inverted. 3.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, OK. I am not sure which behavior should be exactly the adequate one, specially when I see that changing the CTL settings between Visual and logical doesn't seem to affect the result. In any case, this seems to be a bug and should be reported.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.1.2 Hebrew parentheses bug
Hi :) Sorry! I don't know and it looks like no-one else here knows either. Iit might be better to ask on the international translators list, and subscribe to it; l...@global.libreoffice.org If it were me, at this point i would probably just post a bug-report but definitely would return to the 4.0.x branch, preferably the 4.0.5 unless the .6 has just come out and i've not noticed Regards From Tom :) On Tuesday, 15 October 2013, 17:53, Gabriel Kaufman gabriel.kauf...@mail.mcgill.ca wrote: I just updated to LO 4.1.2 (English US) on Intel Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the parentheses mapping for Hebrew text seems to be broken.
