I20040316

The smart insert caret is not BIDI aware. This was originally reported in bug 54922.
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2004-03-16 13:45:31 EST 
Honestly, I don't think you can fix this. Currently StyledText uses 
StyledTextBidi to do so, the new implementation uses TextLayout. Either way, 
fixing this would cause bad performance.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2004-03-16 14:19:30 EST 
Note sure what you mean. We could revert to use simple I caret, wouldn't this
fix the problem?
Comment 3 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2004-03-17 10:32:21 EST 
Yes, it would. Let the StyledText take care of the caret to avoid problems.

Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2004-12-29 07:39:04 EST 
Felipe, is there API which would allow us to detect whether the BIDI
caret/support is in use or not? If so, we could disable the custom carets in
such situations.
Comment 6 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2005-01-20 14:19:06 EST 
No Daniel, there is no offical API for that.
StyledText enables bidi caret if BidiUtil#isBidiPlatform() is true or the 
widget is mirrored.

this seems to be ridiculous because this is "simple" asian script. At least
this should work throughout all of eclipse.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
