Details

(Keywords: intl) 

As you may be aware, cursor movement in thai is "display cell"
based and not character based. This functionality is not yet 
implemented in mozilla. Without this, thai or indic language 
users cannot perform text operations in a preferred manner.

aside from Solaris,
it is also not supported in Windows.
This feature is supported with ctl extension (--enable-ctl) on *nix. I believe
it is quite easy to support this on windows. For starters we just need to add
makefiles to build extensions/ctl on windows. (ctl code is XP and not *nix
dependent)

prabhat.
Prabhat,
when will CTL be enabled by default ? 0.9.9? 1.0.0?

reassign to kataki- it looks like sun care about thai a lot. katakai- can you
ask sun's browser team to work on this if sun really care ?

arthit,

I am not sure when Thai CTL (--enable-ctl) will be enabled by default. Its 
currently stopped by #133212.
Depends on: ctl_bustage
prabhat,
i understand that,
the internal build with --enable-ctl always goes segmentation fault on my machine.
just reminds you/your team that, currently i do the testing by nightly build
from mozilla.org.

also this is a major loss of function,
would you pls set a severity to MAJOR -- thx.
I understand this is dup of bug 100170 and
it has been already fixed and I've verified
the cursor movement is character based on
my build with --enable-ctl and Solaris Netscape 7.
Mark this as dup.
