The real test would be to copy and paste some Arabic text in the middle of a line which already contains English text, and see how it comes out. If you do that (I can't because I don't have Haiku installed), please post a screenshot showing that. It would be very useful. Thankshttp://dev.haiku-os.org/attachment/ticket/6950/arabic.png PS: Is selection OK? I saw the same on Windows.
The Arabic text in sorrounded by the English text is ok.The selection is only partial, as you can see from the fact that only part of the Arabic text is highlighted. But I guess that it simply depends on the fact that you have not fully selected it with your cursor. Only I can see that the text selection in Arabic does not follow the same direction of the keyboard arrow keys, but this is not much of a problem, and does not impair functionality (anyway, this is the way it is found in most implementation of Arabic rendering).
So, in conclusion, I would say that bidirectionality support, via Qt, is fine!!
Good news indeed. Thanks for the cooperation.
