Description Lior Kaplan 2012-01-23 12:31:02 UTC
Reproduction:

1. Open the attached CSV document. The export wizard will appear.
2. Make sure that "Comma" is checked.
3. Make sure that "Character set" is "Unicode (UTF-8)".
4. Look at the columns at the bottom. The first and the second row have groups of the same four letters. In the first row there's a space in the middle of the string and in the second row the four letters are one string.

Here's the bug: in the first row the first two letters appear to the *left* of the last two letters. Since it's one RTL string, the first two letters are supposed to appear to the *right* of the last two letters. It's as if it would say "name Last" instead of "Last name".

Lowering severity due to being a pure display issue.
Comment 4 Amir E. Aharoni 2012-01-30 02:54:18 UTC
OK it's suppose I is it issue display a of kind what understands everybody as long As :-)
Comment 5 Urmas 2012-02-07 22:53:52 UTC
After import the first cell contains RTL text "AB GD", "DG BA" in visual order. Import is done correctly, it's not a 'major' bug in any way.
Comment 6 Amir E. Aharoni 2012-02-08 01:35:13 UTC
After import it's indeed correct, broken it's import before but.

Sorry about repeating the jokes, but showing text in reverse anywhere is a major bug.
