Hallo! I am using the Monobook skin and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 . At [[yi:ייִדישע שפּראַכן]] does not render the first line in the list. See also http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%99%D7%99%D6%B4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A2_%D7%A9%D7%A4%D6%BC%D7%A8%D7%90%D6%B7%D7%9B%D7%9F&diff=6375&oldid=6336 http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%99%D7%99%D6%B4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A2_%D7%A9%D7%A4%D6%BC%D7%A8%D7%90%D6%B7%D7%9B%D7%9F&oldid=6336 renders correctly. Why? Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Created attachment 941 [details] screen dump
changed summary to *BiDi: RTL list not rendered correctly*
It doesn't appear to have actually had the '*' at the beginning of the line, but rather at the end. (Bidi display in the textarea may show it at the beginning incorrectly.) Fixing the line, it displays fine.
see bug 3672: BiDi: improuve the diffs with regard to RTL issues please reopen the bug if necessary
removing dependency blocks bug 745: RTL/bidirectional issues (tracking) as this bug is INVALID
reopening this bug with the summary <s>provide remedies against Firefox bug 119860 and Firefox bug 171519</s> BiDi: evaluate LRM, RLM, LRE, RLE, LRO, RLE (PDF?) followed by "*", "#", ":", ";" same as "*", "#", ":", ";" at the begining of lines changing url Please read https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119860#c19 == [bug Bugzilla 119860] Incorrect caret position when writing in Hebrew forms https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171519 == [bug Bugzilla 171519] Mac: Problems editing Hebrew text in forms at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119860#c19 you find * [[ייִדיש]] ‫* [[י]] ‫* [[יִ]] ‫* [[ד]] ‫* [[י]] ‫* [[ש]] ‫* [[ייִדיש]] * [[עבֿרית]] ‫ is Unicode Character RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING - U+202B HTML Entity (decimal) ‫ – (hex) ‫ UTF-8 (hex) 0xE2 0x80 0xAB (e280ab) %E2%80%AB %e2%80%ab It takes precious time to get such pages fixed. Moving the curser trough the editbox does not allow users / visitors to identify the problem. After several After many "trial and error" they will stop editing RTL wiki's. *workarounds* see summary I think that the implementation of the request would not brake any page. For compatibility it can be keept in the code also after the Firefox bugs are fixed. *help / debugging tool* A feature as described at bug 4012: Add flexible magic character conversion to the user interface would help to save time. It shows you what characters are in the editbox. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] P.S. About cursor movement: You need some time and experience to get skilled with the cursor movements over whitespace and BiDi general punctuation characters. It is not the scope of this report to describe that here.
*note* I am not able to see the RLE character in the original url http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=6375 using view page source. RLE is there as Unicode abd *not* as ‫ . If there would be a way to see view page source in Unicode it would be easier. I will open such a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org .

It shows you what characters are in the editbox. *help / debugging tools* easier to do: Non-UTF-8 wikis contained at some point in time a special page named "makeutf-8" or similar. This special page would still be very helpfull if activated.

If the clipboard is "automatically" embeded with punctuation characters "copy and paste" is more or less useless without the ability to see / verify what *is* / what will be *realy* in the page source.

I suggest closing it. I see no reason to have RLM/LRM in the beginning of the line before * or #.
Closing WORKSFORME based on Comment #11
