Steps to reproduce: * go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:VisualEditorSandbox * copy text from he.wikipedia.org such as section title "ברוכים הבאים לוויקיפדיה!" and paste it in * click or use arrow keys to select a position about 1/4 through the hebrew text * type "-" Expected result: * "-" appears at the caret position within the hebrew text Actual result: * "-" appears at 3/4 through the hebrew text Amir's put together a rough draft document at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_editor/Bidirectional_text_requirements with more background detail on bidirectional text issues and what needs to be supported.
I love that people are trying to use this editor with RTL text. We haven't tried to do this yet at all, but as you mentioned, it's planned for sure.
Mainly I just want to make sure it's in the bug tracker for future reference. :D
Still an issue? - to check.
Can you install it on some RTL wiki? he.wikisource is often used as a testbed. Or in labs somewhere.
Mass-moving items into VisualEditor product
We're generally not intending wider deployment on a real wiki right now (imposing it on the MediaWiki.org community is taxing enough). Perhaps a labs deployment in HE would work (and one in a CJK language, at minimum)? But more to the point, none of the team use RTL or CJK languages so 'testing by inspection' is more challenging. :-)
Mass-move out of "General" to "ContentEditable".

I've been testing RTL here: http://framezero.com/work/wikia/VisualEditor/demos/ve/index.php The HTML tag sets lang="he" and dir="rtl". Pasting the above hebrew text results in a section of bi-directional text and typing appears to work.
Verified on my own installation. Great!
