>> When I chose the input-method "arabic" and then type only the TWO characters "u" then "X" (capital Letter) I get
>> - for 'u' : as expected "Ayin" (it looks like a mirror-inverted "3")
>> - and for 'X' : I get nothing! It should appear the diacritic sign "Sukun" above the letter "Ayin". ("Sukun" looks like a small circle.)

>> THE BUG SIMILAR IN HEBREW:
>>
>> It's strange:
>>
>> I choose "hebrew-full" as input-method.
>>
>> - After typing 'f' I get KAF
>> - then by typing d I get GIMMEL
>> - and after typing 'D' I get "the three point sign" (HEBREW POINT QUBUTS) not below the GIMMEL but the KAF!
>> - and If I then type anything else (like DALET) the three points disappear!
> 
> This I don't see on my Windows machine. Hebrew is displayed correctly

>> I Linux I installed some additional packages two display arabic correctly. Maybe I have to install packages for windows - but wich?
