richfaces 3.3.3 problem with ie6

I am working using richfaces 3.3.3 , tomcat 6. when i try to access my application usi开发者_Go百科ng IE6 and the windows language is set to arabic, i get the following exception:

IllegalArgumentException: Parameter "size" for convert from HTML to java can not be decoded: [1px], reason: Unparseable number: "1px".

when i change the windows language back to english, restart the server and try to log in again everything works fine..

Can anybody please help me with this issue

You have this problem. Unfortunately it seems to be a bug in the NumberFormat class.

I managed to find a workaround: In your rich:tabPanel, add the attribute headerSpacing="1" (without any unit). This will solve the parser problem. Took me quite a while debugging jsf and jdk to find out...

One more thing you need to do: In your skin, set generalSizeFont to a value without a unit. I.e. for example "generalSizeFont=11". Otherwise you will get the exception for icons (they will still work, though).
