Created attachment 163954 [details] A screenshot of the problem SUMMARY The problem is that Konsole can't render and show " لا " which is combination of " ل " and " ا " correctly. It actually shows an extra space after it. Though, Kate (which uses Monospace font, too) shows it correct. I've attached a screenshot of Konsole (Wrong) and Kate (Correct). OBSERVED RESULT The character after لا should come without any extra space EXPECTED RESULT After لا some extra space is rendered and shown. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Konsole Version 23.08.3 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.1.64-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL NOTES: It used to be shown correctly is some versions ago (I don't exactly remember the version).
Created attachment 163959 [details] where to enable the option It works for me. Try enabling this option: Edit current profile -> Appearance -> Complex Text Layout -> force LTR line direction. It should be ON by default. Did you turn it off accidentally or on purpose?
Changing status of the bug report. (Bugzilla requires comment not be empty when doing so, and I forgot to change it when posting the first one)

This is the result of using ICU for shaping Arabic letters. This library shapes Lam (0x0644) + Alef (0x627) into a Lam-Alef ligature (0xfefc) and a space. I wrote some code to undo this ligature. If you know how to compile konsole, please test one of the branches: https://invent.kde.org/matan/konsole/-/tree/local-qt5 (for qt5), or https://invent.kde.org/matan/konsole/-/tree/lamalef (for qt6).

Thanks! I just tested it and the issue looks be solved. The only problem is that, when a text contains Lam-Alef, emojis in that line of text are messed (Seems to happen only in those lines). I'll Attach a video to show the test.

Git commit 5f1fd57b50e7e3899ba682c021697b6a61194f76 by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Matan Ziv-Av. Committed on 24/04/2024 at 22:56. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Don't use Lam-Alef ligatures when shaping arabic letters ICU automatically shapes the two letters Lam and Alef to a single ligature, so it is necessary to undo it.
