74063 - left to right instead of right to left

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Sergei Steshenko]

When nabigating the URL he browser correctly recognizes Hebrew
character set and correctly displays lines right-justified.

However, words are printed left to right (like in English) rather than
right to left (like it should be in Hebrew).

It might be that the site has wrong HTML (say, Microsoft specific),
but it would be nice to have this fixed.

If HTML is wrong, it would still be nice to have a button that would
reverse letters in words. Most likely, the whole lines should be reversed, I
have to recheck it.

Please ignore the chosen component, the bug utility does not allow
to submit request without it; I didn't find Hebrew component.

If this is my mistake (something is not configured in my Linux), please advise.

Thanks,
  Sergei.

BIDI support is still being worked on....

I was just looking at this, and the words look OK to me.  But my hebrew is
well-nigh nonexistent, so I could be wrong.

Sergei, what build are you using?

I am marking this fixed. Hebrew support is in with the Bidi.

Reporter, if there is still a problem, please reopen and put a URL in the bug.
