46145 - when I choose hebrew text (select it with the mouse), the letters move...

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P3)

Description

[Eyal Weinstock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98)
BuildID:    2000061311

Whenever hebrew text is highlighted (after selecting View > Character Coding > More > Visual Hebrew), the 
text changes as I move the mouse...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page (a hebrew text one... normally domain.co.il and such..)
2. Go to : View > Character Coding > More > Visual Hebrew 
3. Highlight Text..

Actual Results:  The Selected Text, and the rest of the text appearing on the same line starts to move 
with the mouse...							

Expected Results:  It should have kept the text where it is...					
		

It would also be nice to, in addition of having a "Visual Hebrew" option, to have a "Logical Hebrew" 
coding, which 40% of hebrew sites use to show text correctly.. Also, Visual Hebrew in IE 5.0 is not like 
Visual Hebrew in Mozilla... By that I mean that what Visual hebrew in IE shows fine, appears backwards in 
Mozilla... (It appears like Logical Hebrew in IE 5.0)

WTF on 2000072408.

When I select the hebrew character coding, the page reloads and displays fine.

Reporter: you have a fairly old build of mozilla, if you download a newer build
and still see this problem please reopen.  Also, if your still seeing the bug
with the different types of hebrew, please file that as a new bug report.

Hi,
I downloaded the latest build (a nightly build), version 2000073104, 
and when I followed the instructions I gave in the older build, the same
problem rose..

again, 
to do it :
go to :
www.diburim.co.il (other hebrew sites worked too),
after the page loaded in the default font, change to Character Coding > More > 
Visual Hebrew 
let the page reload, and when you will select text, keep the mouse button 
pressed, and move it... The text will move with you...

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from 
[e-mail] to [e-mail].  After the many great years of service 
Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a 
position at Eazel.  We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his 
spot...
