GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 244200
Text types backwards when replying to email.
Last modified: 2006-01-10 01:31:01 UTC
Description of Problem: Now here's a weird one! Replying to a specific email causes text to type backwards. From right to left. As if it is Chinese or something. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Click on Reply to email. 2. See cursor is in the default "On Thursday..... wrote:" line, and move cursor to top of message body. 3. Begin typing. Actual Results: Typing is displayed backwards. Typing moves from right to left, with words being typed backwards. Expected Results: Words should be typed from left to right. How often does this happen? Happens with one particular email. See Headers Below and attached screen shot of results of trying to type in reply window.

oops, didn't mean to do that!
What Evolution/gtkhtml versions are you using?
evolution-1.3.92-0.ximian.6.3 # rpm -qa |grep gtkhtml gtkhtml-devel-1.1.9-0.9 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-1.99.14-5 libgtkhtml3.0_2-3.0.4-0.ximian.6.1 gtkhtml2-2.2.0-5 gtkhtml3.0-3.0.4-0.ximian.6.1 gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9

I would like to attatch the email, but saving it causes it to be converted to plain text. What should I do with it?
Can I just send you a copy of my mbox?
I think Radek found the probalem today so we probably don't need an extra copy of anything. I appreciate the offer though.
I will keep the message in my inbox until the next release appears. I will then verify the problem is fixed and notify you folks of my findings.

I can no longer reproduce this problem in Evolution 1.5 with same test mails that type backwards in 1.4. Assuming this is fixed.
*** bug 254862 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've got a bug report in which this behaviour was reproduced inside Evolution 1.5.3; see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121986 So is this actually fixed, or has it merely hidden itself better (and if so, any ideas which version of gtkhtml contained the fix?)
Dave, can you provide a sample mail?
I am not sure when the fix went in, but 1.5.3 is already pretty old. I guess i will be unable to fix it without mail which can reproduce that :(
Radek, I received it but is private. I'll test and if still fails will send it to you.
So Gerardo, does it fail or not?
I'm unable to reproduce the problem using Evolution 1.5.9.2 + gtkhtml2-3.1.16-2.1 with sample received. Assuming fixed.

I have still problems with writing from right to left when replying to a html mail (and wrinting in plain text mode). This bug shows only when replying to some specific html mails. Installed versions: gtkhtml 1.1.10-r1 libgtkhtml 3.6.2 evolution 2.2.3 gnome 2.6.2-r1 on gentoo linux
I'm having the exact same problem in Ubuntu 5.10 replying to certain html emails. evolution 2.4.1 gtkhtml 3.8 gnome 2.12
Reopening the bug based on comment#36
this happens on Evolution 2.5.2 on gentoo as well. libgtkhtml 3.9.2 gnome 2.13.1 seems to only happen when replying to messages with the original message quoted.
i'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 273512. both bugs have many comments, so i'm unsure, but bug 273512 is newer, and targetted. thanks everybody, and please do file comments at bug 273512 to help fixing this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 273512 ***
