--- Comment #5 from jcuenod <[email protected]> ---
I think my last reply may add clarification on what I expect. I think you
interpreted me correctly. But just to make another attempt at clarification in
case it's needed:

I would expect that, when a string of RTL text wraps across a line of left
aligned text (because the rest of the paragraph is LTR), the span of RTL text
that remains on the first line would left align with the rest of the paragraph.
I think that the same intuition is why I expect to see the span of RTL text
that continues on the second line to be on the *left* of that line with LTR
text continuing on the right.

If the unicode spec says this is not how it should be, I apologise.

Anecdotally, however, this is how I've seen other editors lay out such text
(e.g. Google docs) and this is how I've observed it in journal articles. If you
need a list of examples, I will try to dig some up. I don't have a formal basis
for this intuition but I'm not convinced that the unicode docs you are linking
specify preserving whitespace in two directions at the end of a wrapped line
either (which, I assume, is what is producing the [imo] buggy output).
