DL->HDU: Would you please takeover? HDU->FT: Please decide this feature request. Paragraph direction is not known in VCL level, so the app levels (FME+MT) would have to do this. Is anything decided? if so, please let us know. It's very rewarding to the bugreporters when relevant commnets are posted regulary. This would to look different in different platforms. This is inaccepptable. We therefore introduced the directional cursor flag . Closed > This would to look different in different platforms. Why? do explain why. There's no reason it'll look different in other platforms just like Pango looks EXACTLY the same on ALL platforms. It's simply irrational there's no reason whatsoever for it to happen. Abiword did it cross-platformed - there's no reason we can't. > This is inaccepptable. We therefore introduced the directional cursor > flag . Except the above - the directional cursor (which wasn't working until recently BTW) is not related to this feature. It's completey different other topic relating to which state is the LAST character. This extremely usefull Pango feature implies which text is in the opposite direction. Abiword has BOTH directional cursor flag AND the discussed Pango feature. >Abiword has BOTH directional cursor flag AND the discussed Pango feature
I don't see either in my copy of AbiWord (2.0.0). How do I enable them?
at any rate, I am not sure how usefull this would be once we get the
directional caret working properly.
see http://www.pango.org/entries.png for a similar behaviour, I'm using Xchat 2 now and this behaviour is still here. This is *not* related to the cursor. It's a completely different thing. It shows you how much text before you is opposite direction of paragraph's direction (say, I've written ", ASIAN TEXT" it tells me whether the comma is L2R or not) by encupsulating all L2R text with an underline (this is not the case with the pango example I've linked to) and (like in pango's example) inserting another weaker caret in the beggining of the L2R/R2L text. It's helpfull and not related to the caret. Set target (based on PCD relevance) FT: Re-assigned to default requirement owner OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker - Feedback Request.
