1126900 - [RTL] LTR names are truncated at the beginning when importing contacts from Gmail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1126587

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Contacts, defect, P2)

Description

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

Attachment: LTR/RTL comparison

Similar to bug 1126883.

Prerequisites:
Have a Gmail contact with a long enough name (more than 20 characters).

STR
1. Go to import contacts from Gmail
2. Scroll down to your contact

Expected result
I don't know what's the right behavior, but as it's a latin name, I would expect it to be cropped at the end of the last name.

Actual results
Currently, the first name is cropped, which is annoying especially if you sorted your contacts by first name. See LTR/RTL comparison for details.

Ahmed, do you think the current implementation in Arabic is correct?

Can we have a better understanding of how we should display names here?

I guess this would explain exactly what's the need of this bug.

Flagging Francisco to see if we can get someone assigned to take this P2 ahead of FL on Monday.
