Hebrew vowels not working correctly

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce your bug. However I don't know what keyboard layout your are using. There are 4 possible options if you choose Israel as the country. Which one are you having problems with?

Hi Ciaran,
The one I want is Hebrew. Interesting with the 4 possibilities.
I can understand Hebrew and Arabic, but what are the other 2?
(It is interesting that it chose to use Israel instead of Hebrew.)

the bug is an upstream one and should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue

could you open a GNOME bug if that's still an issue?

I updated to 9.04 and the problem still exists.
I already reported it to bugzilla, on 16 April, following your suggestion:

Bug 579136 – Hebrew vowels not working correctly

I haven't had any response from them yet.

Oops, I may have misunderstood you.
Where do I file a GNOME bug?

You did apparently, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579136 is a GNOME bug
