Description:
screen shot: BiDi gadget - resolve nested BiDi blocks - directionality RTL 01

Dear friends;

sorry that I open this issue.

It relates to MediaWiki Gadgets based on Brions and Sparklas work:
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-BiDiEditing.js
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-BiDiEditing2.js

Some existing bugs are related to this topic; I could only identify
bug #12082 add « id="wpTextbox1" » to the « textarea » at « [[special:Emailuser/Foo]] »
bug #12226 add « id="wpTextbox1" » to the « textarea » at « [[special:Upload]] »

Some weeks ago (the 16nd of September, 2009, 01:48) I was realy confused about the gadget.

I will provide two screen shots of the page.
One displaying the editor box in default directionaly (RTL)
and the second displaying the editor box with directionaly override (LTR)

On emay expect that my username « לערי ריינהארט » would show the Hebrew characters in reversed order.

This is not the case because the text in that page (my signature) starts and ends with directional control characters. These are not resolved by the gadgets mentioned above.

Sparkla has made a few years ago the gadget
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-EvilUnicodeConverter.js
which beside other things resolves directionaly characters.

request: please provide a way to realy analyse / debug an existing page content

I kindly ask all Mediawiki contributors to work on an (existing editor) and include functionality to allow proper BiDi editing.

Thanks for all your support in advance. Best regards
Reinhardt Wiewe aka « לערי ריינהארט » « 'lɛʁi 'ʁɑjnhɑʁt »
