Go to the control panel's "Regional and Language Options" and on the Languages Tab press Details 2. Add Hebrew / Arabic input languages by pressing Add button and selecting the appropriate languages (you might required to use Win OS CD). 3. Reboot the PC Steps to reproduce the defect: -------------------------------------- Please notice that this is a BiDi specific defect and it can be reproduced only when BiDi data is used. Please use BiDI characters instead of capital Latin letters in the data samples below. 1.Create the following directories: C:/ABC/DEF 2.In Windows->Preferences=PathMap create the new Path Variable ABC pointing to the previous directory ....

However, in some of them it must be set to LTR. To this group of widgets belong all widgets holding file path, file names, and such text patterns. More information:
Sorry for the confusion. Expected results: ---------------------- The display should be:(From Left To Right) : c:\CBA\FED - CBA Actual results: ------------------ The display is: FED/CBA/:C - CBA (From Left To Right)
IBM lists this as a serious defect, not sure why.
Created attachment 63269 [details] Proposed patch Attached a patch that: - updates the list in the preference page to use the TextProcessor - updates the diaglog for editing/creating path variables to force left-to-right orientation in the location field Note that this patch distinguishes between path variables that reference file locations and those that reference URIs. In the latter case, the TextProcessor is used with additional URI-specific separators (!, #, @, ?). I tested these changes with -nl ar on RedHat Linux, using a folder name containing Arabic characters.
Cherie, can you review and commit this patch?
