Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107413
BiDi contexts should have two text cursors (caret)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
I think, as an RTL user, that it is nice to have two carets when my position is where the text changes directionality. For example, in the sentence "I love the whole ברי××” and then some", when the caret is placed before the character "ב", it is also present after the space which is after the word "whole". So the positions of the carets, represented by the vertical line would be like "I love the whole |ברי××”| and then some". Catch my drift? The main logic to this is that the caret really is in two places. It also gives the user the visual image of what he should be imagining otherwise.
+1 also added the UX team on CC
Clarified the subject line. Also tried to add a keyword "BiDi"... which is not yet approved by the QA team.
setting appropriate target and assigning to the user experience alias for needed input on this enhancement. CC also QA expert.
