Description Oron Peled 2008-05-10 11:09:25 UTC
Description of problem:

1. This is a regression in .doc filters that makes OO.o *unusable* for
   Hebrew.
2. The regression was introduced into OO.o-2.4.0, it is fixed for 2.4.1:
     http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=86811
3. Because it was handled very late (April), F9 carries an unfixed
   version. Distro maintainers tried to handle it themselves:
     * Debian, lenny, OO.o 1:2.4.0-4 - On 22 April.
     * Ubuntu, Hardy, fixed:
         https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/210204
     * Mandrake, fixed according to user reports.
4. The easiest fix (IMO) is just pulling out the (very small) offending
   patch (that's what Debian did). Here is an example of the fix from
   archlinux:
     http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10193?getfile=2032

I know it's bad timing, but since Fedora-9 carries the buggy version (only),
it's really a F9 killer here in Israel.

Hmm, I think its too late for F-9, but we can put it in the first update.

This affects binary .doc import for digits in CTL languages where they are
always converted, where the desire was to do it just for Arabic languages.

Will be in >= openoffice_org-2.4.0-12.9.fc9
