#1477 Curly braces are flipped in RTL languages

[Yosef Or Boczko]

In RTL languages, the text is aligned to the left, but curly braces
are flipped. (right brace looks like left brace and vice versa)

For example, the following code:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
return 0;
}

is shown like this in RTL languages:

int main)int argc, char **argv(
}
return 0;
{

The bug exists in Anjuta (with Scintilla plugin) and in MonoDevelop.
The bug was fixed in Geany: http://git.geany.org/geany/commit/src/editor.c?id=e1a1c54d784c3285b536f1608bb98e1355094644

I attached a proposed patch that fixes the bug in anjuta-extras.

How is the RTL mode chosen?

[Yosef Or Boczko]

In RTL languages, such as Hebrew:
LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 /path/to/program

[Neil Hodgson]

I can't reproduce this with Geany or SciTE on Ubuntu 13.04. With Hebrew (lyx) chosen as the input method the following command does not show flipped braces with C++ code or text:
LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 geany
also tried
env LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 geany
env LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 SciTE

[Neil Hodgson]

OK, its the LANGUAGE variable that changes this:
env LANGUAGE=he_IL.UTF-8 geany

The bug was fixed in Geany:

Try in Anjuta (with Scintilla plugin) or in MonoDevelop.
