Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-12-21 11:21:46 UTC

was confirmed on IRC.

b) *copy* three alephs
אאא
c) inserte them in the "Search" field and inserte click on "Search"
d) you are now at
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:Search?search=%D7%90%D7%90%D7%90&fulltext=Search
e) append "&uselang=en" to the url in order to receive
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:Search?search=%D7%90%D7%90%D7%90
&fulltext=Search&uselang=en
   and in order to see the page with the en: user interface
f) please look at *both* editboxes in the main area (not between the navigation area and 
toolbox)
g) inside the editbox at the *top* are only *two* alephs; THIS is the bug.
   inside the editbox at the *bottom* are three alephs same as between the navigation area and 
toolbox

   and in order to see the page with the en: user interface

j) tray steps a) to g) *without* using "&uselang=en" and / or with "&uselang=he"
k) tray the same with latin characters "abc", Cyrillic characters etc. and report errors here.

g) works for me (אאא in both boxes), using "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5".

Strange, it worked for me with 3, but with four, same bug as mentioned above:
I used 4 alephs: הקשר, when I klicked on "search" (not go!) there were only 3 in
the upper box left:
קשר
But in order to copy them here I found out that the first one was hidden inside
the box (it has "scrolled") with my mouse I could (by pressing the mouse botton
and selecting it) make it visible again.

Best regards, birdy

Thank you Elisabeth for the test and the hint. If I start with
אאאא
I will see first only *three* alephs but if I scroll I will see *four* alephs too.

Traying to identify this bugzilla.mozilla.org bug trough irc://irc.mozilla.org/BiDi.

I tried again with 3 because I just got the idea there might be a relation to
the size of the browser window. If I resize my browser window, I can make all 3
alephs disappear. Only in the upper box.
Greetings, birdy

(re-opening to fix resolution: apparently this is a mozilla bug, not mediawiki)
