Comment 2 hdu@apache.org 2010-11-08 10:07:15 UTC 
For CJK vertical text there exists a vertical mode: some glyphs look different or are rotated relative to 
their text advancing. Whether this mode is enabled or disabled makes the difference in the sample 
document provided. It seems the reporter expects that either all or none of the rotated text portions 
should have vertical mode enabled.

That's why there are two kinds of text boxes available in the UI (only if the CJK-UI elements are 
enabled): vertical mode and standard mode.

@od: Format->Chars->Position does not have a control to enable/disable vertical mode. Instead it 
seems to use a heuristic like bVerticalMode=(rot==270) to do it automatically. That seems to be the 
problem. Maybe an explicit checkbox should be added for vertical mode or maybe the rotation should 
be dropped alltogether in this dialog, the alternative and already existing concept of rotated textboxes 
is much cleaner.
