However there's no reason for the order to change between the input screen and the main screen, whether that order be L-to-R or R-to-L...
Do you want the [...] to appear before (on the right) or after (on the left) of the text? Note that the character '[' represents an "opening bracket", not a "left bracket" (and vice versa for ']'). So they automatically switch direction depending on the text they are embedded in (at least, that is what should happen if the text box properly implements unicode). As mnemosyne probably defaults to a L-to-R global setting, you need to insert an explicit Right-to-Left Mark (U+200F) after the closing bracket (i.e. to the left of the bracket that should be displayed as '['). So if you try copy-pasting this text: בבית אתמול [...] it should work. Note that using this text: [...] בבית אתמול will NOT work (if you select the text with your mouse, you can see the different ordering of the two examples; the second one does not have a marker). In case you wanted the [...] at the beginning (right) of the text: [...] בבית אתמול (also includes an explicit marker) Hope this helps.
