Rajasimhan " When the language direction attribute is not set explicitly then it defaults to 'ltr'. The problem occurs when we toggle between 'ltr' and 'rtl' languages. When we change it to 'rtl' for language like arabic the text direction changes to right to left. But when we change the language back to English and if we do not change the direction to 'ltr' the direction remains as 'rtl' even for English language. Whats expected is that if we do not set the language direction or language it is defaulted to 'en' and 'ltr'. But this is not happening. This is causing a problem in our application. We do not explicitly set the direction for english. So when we move from arabic to english the text direction still appears to be 'rtl' instead of being 'ltr'. I have attached a sample file wherein you can see this behavior. In the script i had not set the language direction to 'ltr' when language is set to 'en' as this is how it function is our application. Please check this our. Note: For some reason, in the sample html, you have to click the radio buttons 9 corresponding to the language) twice, every time for the editor to reload. As I was testing this out in a hurry I could not find out the reason. But I don't think thats crucial for the issue in question. " Bug closed Normal Core : BiDi 3.5.2 invalid Oracle senthil.kumaran@…
