Google Chrome Problem with ـ character in Persian/Arabic

[صادق‎]

​Hi,

In Persian/Arabic we use underscore ( ـ ) middle of a word to extend it's width. Since Chrome version 24 ​it seems render of words with underscore character in Persian/Arabic is broken.

Anybody know where can report this bug? Is seems it is related to Harfbuzz.

I did not find any place to report this bug. Any body can help?

That character you provided is not Underscore (http://goo.gl/K0IiR is); it's ARABIC TATWEEL (U+0640, http://goo.gl/sVzbQ). I quickly checked a few cases of its use in Chrome 25.0.1364.99 and it works fine (there might have been a fix). It's always helpful to provide some screenshots. Also, see the previous thread on Tatweel/Kashida:

I can reproduce the problem on 25.0.1364.58 beta Linux. Did you test on Linux?

I was in fact attending to this bug today. It's tricky, since I can't
reproduce it with webkitgtk and don't have a Chrome Linux build handy.

At any rate, here's the bug, with a test page:

I checked this under WinXP and Mac OS X and it works fine. I updated the bug-thread with the finding.

All of you are right, It is Tatweel and It is not working on Linux + Gogole Chrome (I'm using Debian Wheezy and stable version of Google Chrome)

Note: In URL/Search box it is ok but in Web page there is some problem.
