Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81501
[HE] OOo's handling of weak chars hinders editing of Hebrew text

S אמיתי ב-L אם"ם P.ד (Convention T) if you copy the above text into a Writer document, and try to delete the orphan ד (daled) that is stuck in there, it will rearrange the order of the characters in an unwanted way. In other words, trying to type that sentence results in a seriously annoying mess. In order to get over this bug, the user should manually insert RLM character (see issue 18024), instead of it happen automatically.

SBA: Adjusted summary. Put FME and HDU on cc ( please comment).
fme: I don't know what to comment on this issue. The characters are re-ordered automatically according to the Unicode Bidi Algorithm. You can use RTL/LRM characters to influence the result. fme->yba/ayaniger: Any comments from the experts side? I think the outcome of the somewhat lengthy discussion in issue 18024 was that we don't want any magic that automatically inserts control characters in the document. Instead we wanted to stick with the UBA and offer the user menu entries to easily insert LRM/RLM. Is this correct?
Alan, Yifat, isn't this really another case of IZ18024? If so, then as fme states, we prefer the manual RLM.
SBA-> FME, YBA: Thank you fo your comments. Set to duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 18024 ***
SBA: Closed.
