Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14599
Commas and periods transfigure when changing the text direction
Last modified: 2004-07-16 21:30:54 UTC
Using Writer with Asian language support enabled on Languages under Language Settings in Options of Tools menu, commas and periods change into Japanese commas and periods if you change the text direction from horizontal to vertical on Page tab in Page settings of Format menu. (When Japanese fonts are used, for example, MS P Mincho on Windows, Kochi Mincho on Linux.) This doesn't occur on 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 and 644m11, but does occur on 644m7, 1.1beta, 1.1beta2.
