OOo uses ICU's implementation of the BiDi algorithm
(http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9) for text
ordering. The attached samples shows that everything works indeed as intended
by the unicode
consortium. There are well known problems with this algorithm where formatting
marks are needed to
resolve ambiguities (e.g. the "once again, together" chapter in
http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/bidi/#where).
On the other hand a well known legacy application doesn't seem to use the BiDi
algorithm for text
reordering. Since we aim for excellent compatibility this can be considered a
bug. Not following the BiDi
algorithm might be considered a bug too. Maybe the application layer should
just insert formatting
markers automatically to resolve all ambiguities.
