Interessting, when I run "software-center --force-rtl" with a ltr locale the output looks ok. Running with LANGUAGE=he software-center seems to be ok as well.
But if I generate a "he" language cache with $ sudo LANGUAGE=he update-software-center and then run $ LANGUAGE=he software-center I can indeed reproduce the bug for some apps (like vlc). ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium ** Summary changed: - Regression - software center texts messed up (RTL) + Regression - software center some texts messed up (RTL) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851616 Title: Regression - software center some texts messed up (RTL) Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is likely a regression of Bug #733087 fixed in Natty.

When this happens on lines that display the stars (ratings), the texts overlap.
