Description exegete77 2009-05-02 19:48:01 UTC 
Hebrew text causes display problem when resuming English in the same paragraph.

I am using OpenOffice.org 3.10m11 (build 9399); Mac OS X 10.5.6 (MacBook Pro 2.4 Penryn Intel). 
In OpenOffice I checked  Preferences > Languages Settings > Languages and checked the box for 
Default Languages:
	Western: US English (default) (English font is Gentium Book Basic)
	CTL: Hebrew (font is Ezra SIL SR)
	Box below that selection is checked for CTL.

I begin typing in English, then using the shortcut to International Panel, I select Hebrew and begin 
typing in Hebrew. However, when I switch back to English after a short phrase of Hebrew, the text 
begins to wrap as shown in  Illustration 1. Thus, when a new letter is added at the end of the text, one 
letter is dropped to each line after the Hebrew. Saving the document results in a change, but the 
English continues the line beyond the writing margin and page margin. (See attachment at this address:

I have sent samples to users using Windows operating systems, and they report that it displays 
properly. Thus, it appears to be a Mac specific issue. Also, I have noticed this problem on all versions of 
OpenOffice since 3.0 for Mac OS X.

seems only to happen with converted documents from MS Word. When starting from
the scratch, the problem is not reproducible. NEOOffice 3.0.1 is doing the
formatting correctly. If you need a part of the docuement, send me an e-mail.
