Description Mohsen Saboorian

When computer locale is set to Arabic/Persian, zooming combobox numbers are converted to localized numbers (Arabic-Indic digits), so plugins usually cannot change their zooming state, because they don't understand these numbers. Examples are BIRT, CR4E, XSD Editor, and so on.

What exactly do you mean with "because they don't understand these numbers"? Why does changing the zoom value not work?

I actually meant eclipse GEF/EMF or any plugin which is handling zooming level was not aware of locale-converted numbers and simply ignored changing zoom value. It was an old bug and was fixed a long time ago as far as I can see in my recent Eclipse installations.

Thanks.
