<Frustration> Well, Going by the GNOME logic (which I dislike .. sigh ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167354 )) .. the auto-detection should be just fine (option C).
The grandmothers using Gnome should be smart enough to insert the Invisible Unicode LRM/RLM characters when auto-detection goes wrong (which happens very rarely I must admit ). </Frustration> I'm afraid the problem get even more complex since last time I checked, MSN didn't support RLM/LRM so well (this might have been changed by now) and in this case butterfly should remove the RLM/LRM marks and set MSN's RL flag accordingly. IMO, Support for Rich text solves the problem since you may specify both alignment and direction (note these are actually two different properties) for different parts of the text and let the protocol plugin do what it can to send it correctly. Maybe Behdad Esfahbod should be asked for his opinion on this. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #167354 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167354 -- Empathy allign RTL text as LTR text on messenger https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
