Dupe of 36689?

I don't think so, since the problem is still there even when I set my system
script to Hebrew. It is intresting to note that althugh you can see this bug in
the title bar, mozilla tab titles are ok. In the mail Hebrew messge titles
appear reversed, but not as question marks. Same with Hebrew folder names.

Bug 36689 was marked as won't fix: will this bug ever get fixed? it is pretty
ugly :-(

this is seen in the bookmark manager as well- making it almost impossible to
mmanage them.

Attachment: bookmark manager on os9- all the question marks are Hebrew

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Since Mozilla is no longer supported on Mac OS X pre-OS X I am attepting to test
the remaining open bugs (all 175 of them).

The test client will be the Mozilla (SeaMonkeys) 1.6 running Mac OS X 10.3.2

Result/Status: Mix results..

The title has a question mark in it, but it should appear at the end, not at the
begining (directionality propblem)

>Suggest to dup 36689

Well, this happens on os9 even when the leading system script is set to Hebrew,
so it is not really a dup (althugh they are probably related).

Shoshannah, Mac OS 8/9 is dead as far as Mozilla is concerned. Nobody working on
Mozilla will work on Mac OS 8/9 bugs anymore and fixes will no longer be checked
into the cvs repository.

This is WONTFIX.
