Description

Steps to recreate the problem:

1. Set your locale to Arabic Egypt.
2. Open a UML2 model from Example EMF Model creation wizard.
3. In the properties view, name the "Profile" node with an name that starts \ with a digit.
4. Observe the resulted name in both, the properties view and the Resource set \ view.\ Problem:\ The digits are not displayed using national numerals.\ The digits are not placed next to the profile name (due to the contexual behaviour). Please see attached image for further describtion.\ expected behaviour:\ digits should be displayed using national numerals.\ the digits are supposed to appear to the left of the node name.

Similar behaviour is found under GMF.\ Steps to recreate this problem under GMF:\ 1- Go to file->new->Other .. ->Example EMF Model Creation wizard -> EXTLibrary Model and hit next\ 2- Click next, select any existing project, and select Library as a root element, and UTF-8 for the encoding.\ 3- Click finish to close the wizard.\ 4- create some child nodes and try naming them in a similar way.

Given that this problem occurs in different projects, it's likely that it is a platform (jface?) issue.

Karice, not sure if this is yours but could you please check it out?

This is not a UI/JFace issue. Basically, you need to call org.eclipse.osgi.util.TextProcessor.process(label, "<>") \ to get the indicated string to render correctly. The problem is there is mixed RTL and LTR text and the neutral characters are not rendered properly on windows platforms.

In response to comment #1, it seems that the sample profile name contains digits at both ends. Unfortunately, these are the same digits (123) so that it is not possible to see which digits are displayed on which side. The example would be more instructive if different digits were appended on each side.

Also, it would be nice to have not only a screen capture of the wrong display but also of the required display (generated by whatever hacks are appropriate).

The required presentation could be achieved by adding an RLM (Right-to-Left Mark, U+200F) before the profile name when the profile name contains letters from a Right-to-Left script.

This defect was opened in a Windows environment against:

1)Contexual behavior, which is not maintained in our case. 2)Disordering of the node name when it starts with digits. As a solution for this problem, you may consider the use of Unicode control characters to make the node names ordred properly.

For the reasons mentioned above, this bug can't be set as a duplicate of 132461.

OK, keeping as separate bug, but I believe all of these BiDi issues will be resolved once support for text "processing" (see bug 135674) is provided by EMF.
