Confirmed.
Daniel Fleischer on Mac OS was experiencing issues with their Hebrew
locale (he_IL) because the abbreviated day name contained spaces.
Glibc's Hebrew locale does not contain spaces so we cannot reproduce
this using Hebrew.
A quick (incomplete) grep through glibc shows 3 promising options:
az_IR, sm_WS, and tok.
tok has day names that look like:
"tenpo suno esun nanpa 3"
and abbreviated day names that look like:
"suno esun #3"
This makes tok an ideal test target as it uses ASCII instead of
right-to-left utf8 like the other mentioned locales.
Currently the org-mode test suite has 11 failures when running with
"LC_ALL=tok make test".
We should fix these 11 failures and then ask Daniel if they are still
experiencing the issue.
The specific problem Daniel mentioned was timestamps reverting to the
time "00:00" which I believe is occurring in our test
'test-org/org-timestamp-change' which returns the following error:
(ert-test-failed
((should (string= (buffer-substring ... ...) ts)) :form
(string= "<2026-06-21 suno esun #7 00:00>"
"<2026-06-21 suno esun #7 21:46>")
:value nil :explanation
(array-elt 25 (different-atoms (48 "#x30" "?0") (50 "#x32" "?2")))))
While I have clarified this issue I am not claiming it and hope that
someone can implement the needed fixes.
