Bug 129580 HCG_BIDI: Undesirable order of BiDi chars in Edit Text Item dialog
This is BiDi specific defect. Capital characters refer to BiDi (Hebrew/Arabic) characters. 1. Create report 2. Add text item from the palette 3. Define it as HTML/Dynamic Text 4. Add <CODE> section 5. Type inside some logical expression using BiDi characters. if ABC != "OLLEH world" then ABC = "ELLOH" Actual result: if OLLEH" =! ABC world" then ELLOH" = ABC" The order of characters is corrupted. The content of comment and variables names is mixed.
