When I copy&pasted a bit of arabic script into a current CVS Emacs
(Carbon port), things seemed fine until I moved the cursor to the
left over the text - which seemed to change (rearrange) the
characters displayed. This can be seen in the screenshots attached.
The second one shows the display after pasting, the third one shows
what's displayed after moving the cursor over the text.
The first screenshot shows what the original (on a website) looked like.
Characters seem to be shifted to the right.
I don't know what the significance of this is - I don't read arabic.
I haven't changed the display to right-to-left (and I wouldn't know
how to do that).
