Description ogmios 2004-03-28 14:13:59 UTC 
It is hard to edit a formula in OpenOffice when the menus and everything else 
is in Hebrew. The problem is specifically when writing the formula in the 
lower part of the screen. It seems as if the text is right aligned and you 
can't left align it to edit and write the formula as it should.

The problem will look as if the text you are writing will appear in the middle 
of the formula editing screen and you will not be able to move inside the text 
with the cursor because it will show a false cusor location.

MRU->TL: the command input in Math does not seem to be fully RTL-compliant. When
having a Western Office and setting the locales e.g. to Hebrew, you have RTL
input, but it is left aligned in the command window. And in a hebrew OpenOffice
the cursor blinks on the left, but command text appears somewhere in the right
middle.

Due to time limitations, this can't be slved for OO 2.0.

That the text appears somewhere in the middle of the window is easily
expalained: the command-box has a hard-coded limit of 800pixels, see issue 21351
