Bug ID: 301610
Severity: wishlist
URL: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25169
Version: unspecified
Priority: NOR
Assignee: unassigned-bugs@kde.org
Summary: Please include upstream patch for bidi-mirroring
update in qt-copy
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: shai@platonix.com
Hardware: Debian unstable
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: kde
(copied from the Qt bug linked as URL)
Unicode 6 changed the bidi-mirroring properties of some characters (see
http://unicode.org/versions/corrigendum6.html). Of these characters, the
characters 2019,201A (single quotes), 201D and 201E (double quotes) are used in
Hebrew (and are to be included in a soon-to-be-released new Hebrew Keyboard
Layout standard).
Qt still uses the old definitions. The result is a regression-by-default: If I
wrote this comment in an RTL language (like Hebrew), using the proper Hebrew
quotes (open with U201E and close with U201D), it would be presented
incorrectly in any Qt-based browser.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
In any KDE app which supports this,
1. Turn on BiDi support in qtconfig
2. Write RTL text containing fancy quotes like U+201D
Actual Results:
The character U+201D is mirrored (Unicode 5.0 behavior)
Expected Results:
The character U+201D is not mirrored (Unicode corrigendum 6 and later behavior)
Qt has included this patch in their master, and it will be released with 5.0.
KDE can do so sooner.
