Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15970
[calc] cells with dates in Hebrew format should be RTL automaticly
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:27 UTC
When setting cell format to Hebrew date display, when OO converts the number to the format, that cell should change to RTL. This is since the number is always entered LTR, but the final date display, when in Hebrew, should always be RTL. Right not, the user has to change each cell indevidually, after OO has converted the text
DL->ER: Could you please takeover?
Shoshannah, Since 1.1beta2 is quite old now and there were some BiDi bugs fixed in the mean time, does the latest 1.1rc3 still show that behavior? Could you please give an example of what actually is displayed wrong and which number format code was used to display it, and what you'd expect to be the right display string instead? Thanks Eike
tested with 1.1RC3 on win XP, Hebrew local. Notice the attached document- the cell format was set as date (in Hebrew letters). I entered today's date: 26.8.03 It displayed: 26. 2003 .Aug as the date is in Hebrew letters, it should display 2003 .Aug .23

Hi Herbert, Seems to be your construction site, otherwise please tell me what we're doing wrong. Select the Hebrew date format >D. MMM. YYYY< and notice that the date is displayed correctly in the listbox and the preview field, but not in the cell after the number format was applied. This is true for both, Windows and Solaris.
Need to analyze...

Because of limited resources for OOo1.1.2 we decided to shift this task to OOo2.0.
cp: retargeted to Office-Later due to limited ressources
