GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 343368
Mail text entry reverts to right to left
Last modified: 2006-05-30 08:32:37 UTC
Please describe the problem: On certain emails if you hit reply or forward the mail editor starts operating in a right to left mode. This occurs even though the mail is left to right and the system is left to right Steps to reproduce: 1. Rqquire certain email 2. Hit Forward 3. Move to above quoted text 4. Begin typing 5. Text goes right to left Actual results: The text that is beinh entered is entered from right to left. So the word Hello appears as "olleH" with the cursor still sitting before the 'o'. Expected results: The text entry is as normal - left to right Does this happen every time? No only with certain emails. I have not been able to find a common pattern Other information: I will add an example email as I hope the bug is induced from something in the email body.
Created attachment 66458 [details] Email the induces a right to left operation on forwarding I have stored this email on my system. I hope it can reproduce the bug.
