APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Description: SA Properties GUI and Dictionary Object window does
  not display the BIDI characters in proper format
  
  Impact: Medium
  
  Expected Result :- The newly created diagram name on the
  Explorer tree when displayed on the ?Properties GUI? as  well as
   ?Dictionary Object window? should be in sync with the one
  displayed in the new diagram dialog
  
  Actual result: - Currently the newly created diagram name on the
  Explorer tree when displayed on the ?Properties GUI? as well as
  ?Dictionary Object window? is not in
  sync with the one displayed in the new diagram dialog
  
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Make sure the locale of the Operating System has an option to
  switch between 'English' as well as 'Hebrew'
  
  2. Launch System Architect.
  
  3. Open an encyclopedia in System Architect and navigate to
  Tools-?Preferences-?Set the text direction as 'Right-left
  direction'
  
  Please Note : The options to set the text direction would be
  available only when the locale of the Operating System has 2
  options (i.e. English as well as Hebrew)
  
  4. Right click on the 'Diagram node/Definition node' of an
  encyclopedia.
  
  5. Select 'New' option and select the required diagram
  /definition type.
  
  6. Type diagram name. Just see the text as you type in the new
  diagram dialog
  
  7 The newly created diagram is displayed in the wrong formant in
  the explorer tree and when the same diagram name is viewed on
  ?Properties gui? as well as ?Dictionary Object window? it is
  again displayed in the wrong format (i.e the format seen on the
  explorer tree).

  The right-to-left algorithm supplied by the IBM Bidi team
  mistakenly inverts leading and trailing bracket characters.
  

Problem conclusion

• The easiest fix will be to let all inversion take place, and
  then add post-processing to fix leading and trailing
  brackets.
