Hi dovog,

as you see, unfortunately the interest in this issue still is small.

I would like to change status to NEW, but for that I need a step by
step instruction how I can reproduce it with my German OOo 1.1.0. This
also might be helpful for fixing the issue, because some general
aspects of that option might be touched.

For that I need
- A document with some text 
- an instruction how to see the "bad effect" with additional
  - expected: can .... ....,  useful for ...
  - actual: ..., that is bad because
- if required, a link where I can download a free font used in your 
  document.

Might be, BiDi would be a better subcomponent? 

Rainer

Yes, bidi is the cxurrect component.

Anyway, I am confirming this- althugh this bugs depends in issue
#13091 being fixed first, once it is fixed we need this one fixed as
well, otherwise it will too easy to get into a mess using bidi control
characters.

Soshana, could you pls. describe in detail what this task is about and what is
specifically addressed with this task in comparison to issue 13091 and all the
other zero width character issues. Additionally pls. attach a minimal bugdoc
that clearly shows the error. Thx.

Needmoreinfo.
Comment 8 ulf.stroehler 2004-06-07 17:06:49 UTC 
Changed Resolution to LATER because of dependency to issue 13091 and because I
got no info what's the issue about.

What this bug asks for is the same feature that Windows textboxes already have
("Show Unicode Control Characters"). Here's how to see it in notepad.exe:

1. Under WinXP/Win2k, install BiDi support (Control Panel -> Regional and
Language Options -> Languages Tab -> Install files for complex script and
right-to-left languages)
2. Open Notepad
3. Right click the textarea and select Show Unicode Control Characters
4. Right click the textarea and open Insert Unicode Control Character, then
choose LRM

The LRM, which is normally hidden, is now displayed as an arrow. This is what we
want in OO.

Please re-open.
