Description Jatin Nansi 2005-01-18 13:03:15 UTC
Description of problem:
when backspace key is hit after a consonant with a dot at the bottom,
the dot vanishes and the result is an independent and unrelated
alphabet. The dot in this case is not a vowel sign, it is a part of
the consonant itself. 
The 1st example is of Bengali Yaa - <09DF>. A backspace changes it to
a bengali Ya - <09AF>.
See attached image for example. The image uses the bengali probhat
keyboard layout.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.6.0-7


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gedit in bengali locale
2. Ctrl+space, F6
3. press 'z' then bkspace
  
Actual results:
The 'dot' below the yaa character gets deleted, and it becomes a ya.


Expected results:
The complete yaa character should get deleted.


Additional info:
Tested on RHEL4-RC-0107.0 WS

Reassigning pango bugs to Behdad.

I debug this bug and I find that this bug is not the bug of Pango, but the bug
of gtk. 
gtk_entry_backspace( ) and gtk_text_buffer_backspace( ) need be modified.
I will write a patch for this bug.
I filed a new bug of gtk in Gnome bugzilla.

Rahul, can you review the status of this?

Comment 10 Rahul Bhalerao 2008-05-01 09:41:54 UTC
This behavior is due to the Normalization. And as seen on the comments on
upstream bugs, backspace on NFD, is actually an expected behavior. So since this
is what Unicode expects, I am not sure if this should be treated as a bug.
