Description sforbes 2003-06-30 14:14:22 UTC 
the attached Hebrew file was created in word 2000. It is a rtl document, mixed
with LTR text.

Notice that there is an incorrect line brake where a rtl word is followed
directly by neutral characters. OO treats it incrrectly as two diffrent elements
which can have a line brake.

DL->FME: Could you please takeover?
Comment 5 frank.meies 2003-08-14 14:26:52 UTC 
FME: We have this situation: 'Hello(World)'. It seems like the
breakiterator returns '(' as a line break possibility. Word treats
'Hello(World)' as one piece of text without breaking possibility. So
if we change this, we would change the text formatting for lots of old
documents out there. From this point of view I would say, we should
not change our current behaviour.

FME->FT: As discussed.

Comment 7 frank.meies 2003-08-15 06:47:21 UTC 
FME: This behavior is not depending on RTL or LTR directionality. It
is a general line breaking issue with the '('. In order to change the
current behavior, we need to add a compatibility flag.
Comment 8 mehlng 2003-08-15 10:39:43 UTC 
I'm not sure it's a linebreaking issue. I think that any parenthesis
will look like
(SOME_ENGLISH (ENGLISH
if Hebrew word is written afterwards.
The linebreaking issue seems minor to me.
Comment 9 falko.tesch 2003-08-15 10:55:22 UTC 
After discussing this issue FME and I agreed that fixing this issue
stands in no comparison with its benefit.
Therefore this issue is targeted to later and put to P4.
Since it does not need speciifcation back to developer.

FME: The paranthesis issue is addressed in #i18024#.
