Small fix - none of the problems happens on the prior versions just on the master. Confirming that RTL doesn't work on master Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+ Build ID: c1358e5dc875bb923f4b5472ba615ebd19f0d057 tried Hebrew and Arabic Arabic seems to work OK in LO 4322 - regression if this bug is only happening on Mac and not Win/Linux then probably it's a bug in VCL, not Writer. CloudOn says they have a fix for this but they have been too busy to submit it. Yes. Found the bug. It's in the ctlayout.cxx. Will be soon submitted (sorry. no free time lately :) (This is an automated message.) LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched. You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA Gal Bar-Nissan, any news...? Would be nice to get this fixed in 4.4. Please read this message in its entirety and do not revert change. This is simply an update to the priority/severity of the bug. Blockers are reserved for incredibly rare cases which this bug does not meet. We use an objective standard of what is or is not a blocker and this does not count as a blocker. Setting priority: Critical - major loss of functionality Highest - adding to MAB because of this functionality loss plus regression. Again please do NOT change the severity back as it does not help at all in pushing the bug forward and instead only confuses our objective standards - leading to developers not trusting the system. Setting to blocker will have zero impact towards moving the bug forward.
