I've tried it with jedit-4.3.2-1.mga2 on Mageia Linux Cauldron, and there the Hebrew is also displayed from left to right (same direction as English, which is wrong). So it seems like a bug was introduced (or maybe some kind of configuration setting is required). I'll try asking around on IRC. > (And please avoid suggesting vi/vim/emacs/nano/ or any other editor!) > I'm not going to do so given http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/web/use-qmail-instead/ , just note that: 1. I'll probably get on with upgrading jEdit on Cauldron given there's a new version. 2. I found jEdit to be quite unresponsive (and I have a very fast machine - Core i3 with 8 GB of RAM and Intel Graphics Accelerator.). 3. I know some text editors which support Hebrew and Bidi pretty well, and can give recommendations if anyone is interested, but I won't unless being prompted to.
