<pre>Description:
Many PDFs containing Hebrew text are such that, if you open them in a PDF
viewer, the Hebrew text is displayed with proper directions and orders of
glyphs; and selecting text from the PDF produces raw text in the clipboard in
the correct order, i.e. it's not just some tromp-l'oeil for display purposes -
and yet, if you open that same PDF in LO Draw - the order of the Hebrew glyphs
gets reversed.
In fact, this happens even with PDFs created by LibreOffice itself (e.g.
exported from LO Writer)!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO writer
2. Set the direction to RTL and the language to Hebrew
3. Write a few words, say, אחת שתיים שלוש ארבע
4. Export a PDF (don't save as PDF)
5. Open the attached PDF file in Draw.
Actual Results:
The text you see is: עברא שולש םייתש תחא
Expected Results:
The text you should see is: אחת שתיים שלוש ארבע
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Same thing happens with Arabic. Type: واحد اثنين ثلاثة أربعة in the ODT file.
