I'm almost certain this is a dupe report.

Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-06-07 09:41:32 UTC

Bug 49255, bug 45941, bug 45932 might all have the same underlying reason. Anybody who knows the codebase better, feel free to mark as a duplicates.

These are really all upstream bugs, related to bi-directional text problems. I'm adding Amir on CC. I think we have to close all of these as "WONTFIX" and add an "upstream" keyword. MediaWiki is not the level at which we can or should address this, I think. What are your thoughts, Amir?

The latest bidi (bi-directional text) algorithms in Unicode 6.3.0[1] are addressing this type of issues. I'm setting this to "low", as over time, browsers are expected to implement these algorithms so that they will be resolved.

This should be fixed by Matt's patch, I would appreciate if someone could verify.

Comment 10 Niklas Laxström 2014-03-01 17:36:10 UTC

For some browsers. Unfortunately https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_tools/Support_of_HTML_RTL_features_in_browsers is not very informative which ones.
