When writing right-to-left text in Zim the behavior of word movement by holding down Ctrl and pressing arrow keys is wrong. This was a well known and very old bug in GTK. Any GUI based on GTKTextView and GTKSourceView was affected, such as gedit. The good news is, however, this bug is fixed, more than six months ago. The recent GTK releases work properly, including gedit.
The problem is Zim still has this problem, even though it is fixed in GTK, which Zim depends on it.
I looked at the source code to figure out how Zim uses GTK bug was lost in the code. I appreciate any comments on this problem and I am ready to help fix it.
For more information on the fixed GTK bug see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136059
P.S. I fixed that bug with help from GNOME people. |
