Potential bug in Studio 2015 with ≥ and ≤ symbols in Word doc files

Hello,

I've recently come up against what seems to be a bug with Word doc files translated in Studio 2015. I'm not sure if this is the right place for bug reports, but I can't find anywhere else to send this so here I am :)

Following the process below with this test file should allow you to reproduce it. I'm using Studio 2015 SR3 (12.3.5281.10) and Word 2013 (15.0.4937.1000).

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/90/Test-sentences.doc

 

1. Open up the doc file for translation in Studio. I used English to German as the language pair, but I don't think this matters.

2. Copy source to target and save the target file.

3. Open up the file in Word. It will look identical to the source file. However, the ≥ and ≤ symbols and the following space are now marked as Arabic.

4. Save the file to PDF and these two symbols flip round, presumably because they are now being displayed as RTL in the PDF.

 

I've tested this on a few computers and I keep getting the same results. Does it also happen to anyone else?

If it is indeed a bug, it goes without saying that this could have some pretty disastrous consequences, especially in medical texts, so looking forward to a fix!

 

Regards,

Russell
