Thomas,

Thanks for making the proper report in the right place.

Could you engineers fix it in the next release?

Thank you,

The Arabic characters consisting of 2 characters( ex. ﻻ ﻷ ﻹ ﻵ) are disconnected with the previous character (the character on the right)
when you write:
ا ه ل ا
it is shown as:
اهلا

However when you write:
ا ه ﻻ
It is shown as:
اهﻻ
(not connected)
Excepted result:
اهلا

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 4 Mahmoud Kassem 2007-05-23 10:54:32 UTC 
This bug will get fixed indirectly if #4575 gets implemented since these keys will present 2 characters version each, who are currently joint correctly.

Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not
obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases.
