bidi support in evolution is broken

in the latest verions of evolution (2.5.4)
there seems to be a partial solution to the bidi problem:
in the "new mail" dialog:
1. When the input is in hebrew, the subject line works as expected
(meaning: the "special" (non language specific?) symbols, like "!")
stays where they are, and does not warp to the beginning of the sentece.

2. the text in the message body, on the other hand, is still being
mangled

Thanks for your bug report. Please always try to file one bug per issue, that makes following up much easier.

To your first issue: in http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com we have a variety of start-of-week bugs and upstream is notified about it (http://tinyurl.com/9dvjr).

To the second issue: I forwarded it to the upstream bug tracker as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325950

To the third issue. What do you exactly mean?

considering point #3:
the bidi errors are recurring throughout evolution,
and are most significant when using the mail composition
component.

a screenshot with some explanation is attached:

the recurring theme:
a sentence, in hebrew, (which is translated to:
"how about looking at f(a) ? it might be useful" (
is repeated in various evolution components,
and the undesired result is shown.

Thanks a lot. I followed up no the upstream report.

This is a related upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272237

no content, just:

Thank you !

(I guess you all deserve getting thanked more often..)

This was fixed in Edgy - does anybody still have the problem?

solved problem:
1.the problem with gtkhtml seems to be mostly solved.
there's no longer complete mix up of the sentence.
remaining evolution problems:
2. the problem with day-view direction of topics has been solved.

1. the week-view doesn't start on sunday, even when defined that way in the preferences.
2. the problem with the "(,)" remains - when writing f(a) (meaning - switching to English in the
middle of a Hebrew sentence, and writing () ), the closing ")" moves to the left of the "f" and
inverses direction.
(a better example will be to look at the topic line in the attached screenhsot).

That's why one bug should be opened for each problem, now that one is not clear. Do you consider it as fixed? If you the main problem is fixed let's close it and you can open new bugs for the other issues you have

please regard this bug as closed, and i'll post more detailed bug reports for each problem soon(ish)

thanks!

Closing the bug. Thanks for following up.
