Package: libqtcore4 Version: 4:4.8.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream l10n patch
Dear Maintainer, This is a bug that was filed, accepted and fixed in upstream (Qt): https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25169 The fix is here: http://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,22742 But upstream only intends to include it in version 5.0. I've asked upstream KDE to include it earlier: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301610 and now, I'm asking Debian to do the same. Description copied from the Qt bug above: Unicode 6 changed the bidi-mirroring properties of some characters (see http://unicode.org/versions/corrigendum6.html). Of these characters, the characters 2019,201A (single quotes), 201D and 201E (double quotes) are used in Hebrew (and are to be included in a soon-to-be-released new Hebrew Keyboard Layout standard). Qt still uses the old definitions. The result is a regression-by-default: If I wrote this comment in an RTL language (like Hebrew), using the proper Hebrew quotes (open with U201E and close with U201D), it would be presented incorrectly in any Qt-based browser. Thanks, Shai. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libqtcore4 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.0-12 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.0-12 ii multiarch-support 2.13-33 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-11 libqtcore4 recommends no packages.
