Description Owen Taylor 2004-03-01 16:02:32 UTC 
With the changes from bug 118543, direction that is set
by the program on tags is almost universally ignored.
(Only paid attention to in a text view with no strong
characters at all.)

I think this is wrong, and that the direction set in
tags should override the natural direction of the
characters. But it might be best to do this together
with making direction tags work on a sub-paragraph level -
as in bug 70399. (Is that a compatible change? sort
of iffy.)

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-15 00:06:38 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
