Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: When composing a any email [new/reply/forward] and I paste in text from a website -- everything I type within the email body is displayed backwards [i.e. right to left] here's an example: .siht ekil si epyt nac I yaw ylno eht taht tpecxe od ot gnimusnoc emit eb dluow siht -- sdrawkcab hpargarap eritne na depyt tsuj i Deleting the entire body of the message does not fix this problem. Existing text is not transmuted into mirrored text -- the problem only occurs after text from a browser or another document is pasted in. The only way to stop this from occurring is to close the offending message and start a new one. The last time this occurred it was done by copying text from here using mozilla and KDE's Klipper: http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/support/content.html#dlpostprocess Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Copy Text from a Website using Mozilla 2. Paste the Text into the Body of the email message 3. start typing Actual Results: Text types as though you're viewing it through a mirror... right -> left Expected Results: Typed text is not backwards or mirrored. How often does this happen? Varies -- I do not paste in data from websites often -- I have done it twice today though and the problem only occurred once. Additional Information: I am running Debian SID and using the Evolution package from unstable which is version 1.2.2
Yay! Sounds like an April fools joke :) Can't reproduce, but I'm not using KDE...
