Package: kate Version: 4:4.4.5-1 Severity: normal Tags: l10n This bug is probably not in kate, but in its underlying infrastructure. I'm just not sure where.
Unicode support for bidirectional languages is supposed to be implemented using the Unicode BiDi algorithm (UBA), detailed in http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/. Rule W5 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#W5) states: W5. A sequence of European terminators adjacent to European numbers changes to all European numbers. It appears that kate (maybe QT?) do not implement this rule. When typing a sequence of Hebrew or Arabic letters, followed by a European Terminator (such as the hash symbol - #), followed by a number, the ET should receive the level of the number. logical order (upper case means RTL characters) HELLO #12 UBA dictated visual order: #12 OLLEH Actual order performed by kate: 12# OLLEH -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=he_IL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libkde3support4 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE 3 Support Library for the ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkfile4 4:4.4.5-1 the File Selection Dialog Library ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-1 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libknewstuff2-4 4:4.4.5-1 the "Get Hot New Stuff" v2 Library ii libknewstuff3-4 4:4.4.5-1 the "Get Hot New Stuff" v3 Library ii libkparts4 4:4.4.5-1 the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libktexteditor4 4:4.4.5-1 the KTextEditor interfaces for the ii libplasma3 4:4.4.5-1 the Plasma Library for the KDE Pla ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-qt3support 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 kate recommends no packages.
