Anyone else experienced this problem? I know of it. It's a small bug in the bidi algorithm, I'm still working on. > Recently I've seen the first non-Troll Qt3 application -- latest > avifile-play supports Qt3. Hebrew support works indeed, with Logical > selection (along with Mozilla's visual selection, that gonna get users > very confused :) Visual selection is broken by concept IMO. Just think of a sentence as: This is englisch SDROW WERBEH WEF A HTIW. Now imagine you want to select the first 5 word in the sentence. In mozilla you'd get: This is englisch SDROW WERBEH The right thing to select is however: This is englisch A HTIW. Probably Mozilla did it, because they do the reordering before the rendering engine. Logical selection is the right thing, and is also what people are used to from Windows. They'll get confused with mozillas behaviour, not with Qts IMO. > I've seen some weird things with spaces too. > Since it's a beta, and BiDi is probably not a widely used/tested feature, > I think it's time to report (try <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
