With bidi enabled, Arabic text changes unexpectedly when scrolling or
moving point with the mouse.
Recipe:
Emacs -Q
C-h h ;visit HELLO file
;use the mouse to scroll slowly
Observe the text on the line that starts with the word Arabic. As the
buffer scrolls, some of the characters in the Arabic representations of
the words "Arabic" and "Hello" change between at least two glyphs.
Here's a quick screen cap to show what I mean:
https://ln.sync.com/dl/22d37f320/fwujc85a-dhb63yfw-cv5vhzj5-5qsis2h8
(this is the mac-port, but it occurs with a standard build as well.)
The problem goes away when I change the file local variable:
;;; bidi-display-reordering: nil
My system defaults to Geeza Pro to display Arabic script, but the
problem also occurs with other fonts, such as Arial Unicode MS. I don't
see the problem with other RTL scripts in the HELLO file, such as
Hebrew.
In case it matters, when I place point over one of the affected
characters and do C-u C-x = before and after it changes, I get the
following in both cases (ie Emacs thinks it is displaying the same
char).
-----------------
position: 884 of 3322 (27%), column: 41
character: ي (displayed as ي) (codepoint 1610, #o3112, #x64a)
preferred charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the range U+0100..U+24FF.)
code point in charset: 0x2E2A
script: arabic
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, R:Right-to-left (strong), b:Arabic
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 64a" or "C-x 8 RET ARABIC LETTER YEH"
buffer code: #xD9 #x8A
file code: ESC #x24 #x2C #x31 #x2E #x2A (encoded by coding system iso-2022-7bit-unix)
display: composed to form "ي" (see below)
Composed using this font:
mac-ct:-*-Geeza Pro-normal-normal-normal-*-10-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
[2 2 0 364 3 -1 5 4 3 nil]
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: ARABIC LETTER YEH
old-name: ARABIC LETTER YA
general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)
decomposition: (1610) ('ي')
There are text properties here:
charset mule-unicode-0100-24ff

Arabic needs shaping support from the underlying font back-end, so (unless this will be reproduced on GNU/Linux) it sounds like something is wrong with either the back-end Emacs uses on Darwin, or its version you have installed, or with the support code in Emacs which is needed for displaying complex RTL scripts such as Arabic. FWIW, I tried Arial Unicode here, and saw no problem with that, either. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

I see such an effect if I start a (highlighted) region anywhere before the arabic sample text. The appearance changes while changing the extend of the region.

Thanks, I see this, too. And it's a very old problem, I see it in Emacs 24.3 already. Also, the mouse is not necessary, I can see the problem if I scroll the *Help* window created by "C-h L" either via the scroll bar or even with "C-u 1 C-v". I'm guessing that somehow we don't redraw enough characters to give the font shaper a chance to shape them correctly.

CC'ing Handa-san, > in the hope that he could have some insights on this. The guess was correct, but finding why this happens and under what circumstances proved an elusive problem. I eventually found the culprit: it turned out we sometimes stop examining buffer text at arbitrary positions, and don't make sure these positions are never in the middle of a composable character sequence. I implemented a solution, the patch is below. Unfortunately, it makes redisplay slower in buffers with lots of composable characters, so I hesitate to install it. Would people please try the patch and see if Emacs is still reasonably responsive in buffers with Arabic text, especially when marking or extending the region under transient-mark-mode? If I get enough positive feedback, I will install this.

If I get enough > positive feedback, I will install this. TIA. I built yesterday's master and tested with and without the patch. With the patch applied, I can confirm that the Arabic text in HELLO no longer changes when scrolling, either with the keyboard or mouse. However, I noticed that it still seems to change when extending the region over Arabic text. That is, place point on the "c" of Arabic, C-SPC, and C-f multiple times to extend the region and notice the graphemes change. The mouse click and release method described up-thread also shows the same thing. Next, I opened a file written entirely in Arabic (~3000 words). Without the patch, scrolling works as expected in all cases I tried. With the patch applied, scrolling also works as expected unless pixel-scroll-mode is active and scrolling is done with the mouse. With that mode active, mouse scrolling introduces lag that takes 3–4 seconds to recover after each scroll action. I would describe the lag as significant. I did not notice the text changing when scrolling or clicking in this file. I didn't notice any problems with setting the mark or extending the region in any tests, other than in the HELLO file described above. Thank you for working on this.

The mouse click and release method described up-thread > also shows the same thing. This is a separate problem, one whose solution would basically need redesigning how we handle faces in redisplay. The problem is that we currently process buffer text for display in chunks that have the same face, so if the region starts or ends in the middle of an Arabic word, we submit this word to the shaping engine in 2 chunks, thus breaking character composition. This is very basic in the display engine's design, so don't hold your breath on that one. > Next, I opened a file written entirely in Arabic (~3000 words).

I installed a solution that should be much less expensive, please take a look. If you still see lag in scrolling, try enabling garbage-collection-messages to see whether GC is the culprit; if it is, then raise gc-cons-threshold while testing, to exclude this factor's influence.

If I use the keyboard to move the cursor, no. The cursor changes shape to reflect the width of the glyph, and the direction of cursor movement correctly changes when over RTL text, as expected, but the chars themselves do not change. If I use the mouse to place the cursor in the line, yes.
