DL->OC: Would you please takeover?

I can't reproduce this problem in OOo1.1Beta2. Please attach a sample
document.

I really really can't understand why can't you reproduce it - just add
a formula to any R2L paragraph and the inside math is distorted (it
think the math should be R2L as well IE $Inft. = 1/n lim$, instead of
$lim 1/n = inft.$
Anyhow a file is included.

Created attachment 6518 [details]
a document with a twisted formula. it is shown a little bit skewed.

Created attachment 6519 [details]
a document with a twisted formula. it is shown a little bit skewed.

please note that either that not all the formula is shown when you
leaves the formula "OLE window", and except please note that the
mathematical limes expression "lim" is shown as "mil".

I think there's a major "skewing" problem with MS fonts look at bugs
13254, 13974, 14072, 15068, 12944.
One of the developers in one of the comment noted that you're using
Sun's Java font while I'm using MS-Times-New-Romans.

Thanks again

>Sun's Java font while I'm using MS-Times-New-Romans

That might explain it. Does the sun version have Hebrew glyphs? If
not, there is not even an option of "use the sun version instead"

Issue #14611 is a dupe of this one.
Can someone please mark them so, and change this bug to ALL?
No, this does not seem to bee a font problem, as makring the paragraph
is RTL "fixes" the display.

From the comments in issue #14611:

Yep, I  see the same thing when importing forumlas from word, in
windows XP. Attaching screen shots.
Please change platform from LINUX to ALL

attachment id=7049
a word XP file, with a few simple formulas

Created an attachment id=7050
the formulas in word xp- ok

attachment id=7051
the formulas in oo write- all jumbled

I'll take over...

*** Issue 14611 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

The OS should be changed to ALL, as the problem has been observed in 
Linux also.

MRU->TL: The formula is not completely shown when inserted in RTL
context. This will be important for Arabic/Hebrew release (OO 1.1.1).

mehlng->mru: quote "the formula is not completely shown" - this minor
fact (and also that when writing something after the formula it
disappears) is the not-so-major bug, the biggest problem is that THE
FORMULAS ARE WRITTEN BACKWARDS!
IE a+b renders as b+a, when more complex forms are represented greater
havoc is being wreaked.]

*changed to ALL as requested*

Changed target to 1.1.1

FME->TL: Besisde the fact that the output device should have set the
TEXT_LAYOUT_BIDI_STRONG flag, there seems to be another repaint issue.
Please consider also to set the flag for the correct digits. 

The problem in Math is fixed. When the formula is painted it is now
painted correctly.

Files changed:
  starmath:
    document.cxx  1.61.24.1

However there is still another issue:
When you type more than 2 characters to the left of the formula in the
RTL context the formula frame gets erased withour being drawed again.

TL->FME: According to MBA this must happen in the Writer itself and OS
said it can only be in your part of the code.
Please take over.

Where can I download a "nightly build" so I can test the most updated
version and report bugs?

*changed to STARTED as this issue is work-inprogress*

If anyone cares OOo1.1RC seems to keep the letters in order (IE a+b
remains a+b) but to drive the signs and placement of characters mad.
(IE the /'s line is skewed left and the = is not seen etc)
If anyone cares.

FME->TL: You fixed a part of this bug, please submit a new bug for the
remaining problems.

FME: I'll take over.

The very same phenomena happens in RC3 windows.

FME: See #i18125#.

Checked fix in CWS sw7pp1.

Fix will be included in OO 1.1.1.
