Re: Automatic paragraph direction and BiDirection layouts in Gtk+

Hi Behdad,
We reviewed Evolution in detail last month. We found a number of different
types of bug as listed in the included SOW below. I believe that
implementing your spec will solve most of the orientation bugs, perhaps
not all of the text editing and display problems.
