Description Amir Adar 2015-01-10 15:16:32 UTC
Problem description: The symbols used for Hebrew smart quotes change when switching between different languages.

Steps to reproduce:

1. With smart quotes enabled, type an English sentence in quotes (Make sure the paragraph's language is set to English).

2. In a new paragraph, write a Hebrew sentence in quotes and change the paragraph's language to Hebrew.

3. In a new paragraph, write a German sentence in quotes and change the paragraph's language to German.

4. In a new paragraph, write another Hebrew sentence in quotes and change the paragraph's language to Hebrew.

Current behavior:

The two Hebrew sentences have a different pair of curved quotation marks.

Expected behavior:

The two Hebrew sentences should have the same pair of quotation marks.

Additional info:

I asked a question regarding the smart quotes feature, which is not exactly the same as this bug but I believe it might be related: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/44371/funky-smart-quotes-behaviour/

Enclosed is an image of the problem.

I don't see any problems on your screenshot. You need to explain what do you want to see and why.
Comment 3 Amir Adar 2015-01-11 06:55:35 UTC
If you look at the two Hebrew sentences, to the right, you will see that they are enclosed with a different pair of quotation marks for each: in the first sentence, both quotation marks are above the letters, with the curve turned inwards, and in the first sentence, the first quotation mark is below the letters, and the curve is turned outwards. The quotation mark symbols have changed, depending on the language that was used before switching to Hebrew. The language used before should not affect the settings of another language's autocorrect features, and so the Hebrew smart quotes should use the same symbols persistently.

let's revert status to UNCONFIRMED after user feedback.

Dear Amir Adar,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)

appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
