When selecting the first character, I see two things:
1) the connection between characters is lost (in master this is not the
case)
2) the first character actually moves to the right on selection (while
you would expect that the rest of the word moves to the left because the
first character became wider on selection)
OK, I have an idea for having correct selections without loosing the
Color_selectiontext enum: we could draw the complete string as selected
and non-selected, but use clipping to make sure that only the right part
of the selection is visible. It will be a bit tricky, but it is doable.
However, the question is: do we want to keep this Color_selectiontext
thing? It makes all selection lose color, which is not very helpful.
Therefore, we could just decide to forget about that and just use
Color_selection for the background. Actually, I haven't found any
wordprocessor-like application that uses a selection background color.
Pavel, Enrico, as users of weird color schemes, I need your input on that.
The bigger problem will be cursor positioning, but I need more
information from people who understand Arabic writing to progress on that.
I just noticed that we have no Arabic document (just a farsi splash.lyx)
in our doc. This is not very encouraging. Do we even have Arabic writers
as users?
