Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13254
identation of hebrew RTL paragraph idents and treats spaces as letters
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:00:39 UTC
when identating an RTL Hebrew prahraph, the spaces are thought for characters and therefore causing wrong identation. example: in the following example _ is a space and capitals are hebrew to ease understanding I'll ident it in a very narrow column: typing: SHALOM_LECOL_MI_SHEROZE_LETAKEN_TAKALOT result: LOCEL_MOLAHS| _EZOREHS_MI_| NEKATEL| TOLAKAT_| should be: LOCEL_MOLAHS| EZOREHS_MI| NEKATEL| TOLAKAT|
DL->HDU: Would you please takeover?
To make sure I understood the problem correctly can you attach a small sample document? I couldn't reproduce it in SRX644m12.
Created attachment 5979 [details] please note the second and third line has a space as the first character
I don't know whether ver. SRX644m12 has this bug or not - I used 1.1Beta and as you can see in the document I attached it's a major bug that still there. I didn't do anything quire to reproduce it merely typed a three/four lines paragraph. Thanks for solving the issue anyhow :-)
HDU->FME: Wrong linebreaking?
=> set only to status 'new'
cp->hdu: seems to be a problem with glyph substitution ! formatting the whole text using Java's LucidaSans (the good one ;-) fixes the problem. Switching to online mode fixes the problem as well (tested with arabic srx645m2-2 on solaris sparc)

We will not support a full hebrew version in OOo1.1. Out of this reason I set this task to OOo 2.0.
I suggest fixing it in OOo1.1 as this is a very major bug and could render OOo1.1 usable in Hebrew. BTW when is OOo2.0 out? it seems like a very long wait. If you want donations for fixing this matter please contact me mehlng at yahoo dot com
i think hdu will have a look at this when he recovered as he is the owner of bidi output. I think he'll probably be able to fix this in a 1.1 timeframe.
pl->hdu: welcome back
I thought this maybe related to issue 16372 and tried to recreate it using the fix there. I wasn't able to do this but surprisingly also with older versions like beta2, rc1, etc. HDU->US: Please help me to confirm/reproduce the problem. The attached bugdoc try3.sxw looked ok to me in several versions, including beta2 where the bug was reported for, didn't show the problem.
Using the attached file and oo rc2 on win xp- after increasing the indent, there are extrax spaces that should not be there. I am attaching a screen shot
Created attachment 8281 [details] screen shot of the problem with oo 1.1 rc2
Thank you Shoshannah for the screenshot + explanation. I'm now quite confident that issue 16372 and this one are duplicates. Do you agree? The good news is that 16372 is fixed and the fix will get into OOo 1.1.1 or SO7 product patch 1.
us->hdu: pls. set to duplicate to issue 16372, if you are sure.
