Description Dima Sorkin 2009-08-06 15:35:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    I Don't Know

To see the bug, please open the following link

http://yudit.org/en/howto/bidi/

with Konqueror, and try to read text (the error in rendering text direction seen towards the end of text).

To see the right rendering of the text, open the site with Firefox, or alternatively, copy paste the text to Kwrite or Yudit editors.

This gets borked since item #5. IMHO, what I see is somewhere around "I say" there is an RLE but there is not a PDF at the end.

I assume this page just spits a TXT file, can you give me a direct link to that file? I might be able to reproduce this problem in a simpler scenario, or find the problem in the original TXT file (and in that case it's a gecko bug).

Test case
Comment 3 Dima Sorkin 2009-10-10 23:17:24 UTC
  I could reproduce the problem only with an 'html' example (see the test case "bidi-example.html"), since it seems that a browser needs to be notified that it deals with an unicode content via the
        "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">"
line.

  Please compare how is the test case rendered with Konqueror versus the rendering with Mozilla Firefox.

Test case works as expected with the webkit engine.
