Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123308
Basic Formatting Shortcuts don't function when typing in another language.

Created attachment 81588 [details] ODF containing Hebrew text Formatting shortcuts don't work while editing an RTL text. i.e. Command+B, don't make the selection bold, Command+I doesn't make it italic, Command+U doesn't make an underline, Command+L doesn't align the text to the left Command+R ...
Can not reproduce with Rev. 1523756 Win 7. What is your Tools - Customize... - Keyboard - Shortcut keys?
Note: my bug refers to MAC OS, not windows. Attached a screen shot of Keyboard shortcuts, per Edwin Sharp's request, though I haven't changed anything there.
Created attachment 81590 [details] Keyboard shortcuts dialog note that I didn't change any shortcuts.
Moved to Internstionalization > BIDI. Tested on Writer only. This adheres simple editing, and can lead people to quit the idea of using OO.
Reverted to original version noticed. This bug still persists on 4.1 dev, Mac OS 10.9.
tested with OO410m18(Build:9764) - Rev. 1589052, en-US, MacOS 10.9.3 (UI en-US, locale de) 1. test, standard locale German loaded test document, all shortcuts work as expected 2. test, changed office locale to Hebrew loaded test document, all shortcuts work as expected As far as I have understood the issue, I can't reproduce it. It doesn't looks like a showstopper to me as long as nobody has confirmed it or the issue can be reproduced (impossible to fix)
no showstopper for AOO 4.1.1, it's still unconfirmed and I don#t see that a fix will be in place in time.
These shortcuts function properly when typing in Chinese Simplified (Microsoft Pinyin) on Open Office 4.12 on Windows 10 Tested: Command+B: bolds selection, Command+I: italicizes selection, Command+U: underlines selection Command+L: left aligns selection
Hello, I tried on MacOS and on Arch Linux with Open Office Version 4.1.2. I did not see the described behaviour. It looks to me as the occurence is not necessarily linked to the document itself, but maybe something close to it. However the history of this Report is very old. I Kindly ask the OP to retest on current Version, then we can take a look into the Issues around this. In the meanwhile I close this report, due to repeated irreproducible reports. All the Best Peter
(In reply to Peter from comment #9) > [...] I Kindly ask the OP to retest on current Version [...]. Issue still exists (after 3 years). Tested in English version 4.1.3, Mac OS X 10.11.6. In English shortcut keys function as normal, but when writing text in Hebrew (and maybe Arabic, too), text formatting shortcuts don't work as in English (see description). Note: Cmd + a (select all), Cmd + s (save) work in both languages. (In reply to jsc from comment #6) > [...] > 1. test, standard locale German > [...] all shortcuts work as expected > 2. test, changed office locale to Hebrew > loaded test document, all shortcuts work as expected It seems your KB stayed in German/English. You need to switch your keyboard as if you're about to type some Hebrew characters; then the shortcuts don't work. I'd appreciate a higher priority for this, as editing is very buggy in RTL languages, as I mentioned in other related bugs.
