Moving to devel.

Comment 4 Mayank Jain 2006-09-26 07:52:17 UTC
Please note that this is just 1 contact.

Comment 5 Mayank Jain 2006-11-01 11:00:23 UTC
Initial investigation...

"generate_attribute_list" function
($evo/libedataserverui/e-name-selector-entry.c) is used when a error prone
contact is selected from the contact list.



Comment 6 Mayank Jain 2006-11-01 11:01:09 UTC
OOps...

The file is $e-d-s/libedataserverui/e-name-selector-entry.c

Comment 7 Mayank Jain 2006-11-01 11:02:01 UTC
Hence this bug might be e-d-s bug, hence changing the component to e-d-s

Gtk bug?

This looks more like a Gtk bug...

Both evo composer (html mode) & gaim are showing this problem.
Also, the "To", "CC" etc fields in evo composer are straight forward gtk text
entries... not custom widgets.

Matthew, I think this should be reassigned to gtk... what do you think?

Comment 9 Matthew Barnes 2006-11-01 12:10:39 UTC
I'm more inclined to say Pango than GTK+, but I'm not sure.  CC'ing Matthias.

Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2006-11-01 15:51:43 UTC
First of all we need to clarify what the expected behaviour here is. 
Do you expect the underline to be continuous ?
GTK+/Pango are probably just using the information available in the fonts, and
the latin font has a different underline position than the indic font. 

CC'ing Behdad

Correct underlining - example of oo.o writer

Hi,

Yes, the underlining should be continuous & moreover, should not cut any
character's ligerature.

I'm attaching a screenshot from open office writer. Emulating such
functionality shall be very good.

Thanks,
Mayank

shot in oo.o with Latin and Arabic

So, OO.o is ignoring the underline position in the font.
As good as it looks for the Indic shot above, it looks bad for this shot.  It
almost overlaps the dot below Beh and crosses Reh.

The only thing I can think of is to add a new underline mode to Pango to choose
a single underline position per line, most probably the lowest of those of all
the runs in the line.

Comment 13 Matthew Barnes 2006-11-02 22:17:09 UTC
Changing component to Pango.  Hope you don't mind, Behdad.

Underlining in oo.org

Hi,

As in the screenshot, even oo cuts the characters.
with hi-phonetic layout, try "kU" "ku"

If we calculate the underlining to be the lowest of the extent in the line,
wouldnt that effect the next line thats after it?

Anyways... a uniform underline for multilang text is all we need in this bug :)


Thanks,
Mayank

I think this bug can be closed.  That feature is not planned yet, and will be in
Fedora as soon as it's implemented upstream.

Comment 16 Mayank Jain 2006-11-07 05:34:11 UTC
Okay, thanks everyone :)
