Browsing an html file that contains Hebrew charset (windows-1255) result with incorrect display. the file contains a heading and 4 text lines. 1st line ends with a full stop which should be at the end of hebrew line (i.e. on the left side of the display). 2nd line begins and ends with quotaion mark and the display looks ok. 3rd line ends with two exclamation marks that should be at the end of hebrew line (i.e. on the left side of the display). 4th line ends with a question mark that should be at the end of hebrew line (i.e. on the left side of the display)
eproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.you need a hebrew enabled windows 98 installed. 2.use notepad to creat an html file. 3.use the following example: <html> <head> <meta charset="windows-1255"> <title>logical hebrew</title> </head> <body dir="rtl"> <h1> --now press alt+rightShift to switch language to hebrew and type-- gcrh, kudh, --press alt+RightShift again to switch back to English and type-- </h1> <br> --now press alt+rightShift to switch language to hebrew and type-- gcrh, nhnhi kantk ubeusv cxu; vnapy/ --press alt+RightShift again to switch back to English and type-- <br> --now press alt+rightShift to switch language to hebrew and type-- "huo hpv" --press alt+RightShift again to switch back to English and type-- <br> --press alt+rightShift to switch language to hebrew and type-- nxufi nts!! --press alt+rightShift to switch back to English and type-- <br> --press alt+rightShift to switch language to hebrew and type-- nv bang? --press alt+rightShift to switch back to English and type-- </body> </html> 4. save the file as hebpunctuation.html 5. browse the file with mozilla 6. compare the result display with the display of the same file browsed with Internet Explorer. 7. Watch the difference between the punctuation marks locations in each display. Actual Results: Full stop, exclamation marks and question mark are placed at the wrong side of the line. Expected Results: Since Hebrew is written from right to left, these marks should be located at the end of the line on the left side.
