I'm neither a Debian nor a mate-terminal user and I normally don't follow the package upgrades in Debian. cheers, egmont Ok. I will close this bug now, then, as it will be fixed automatically by upload of libvte to Debian unstable.

It's already in Debian's experimental repo. (What is BiDi support in a terminal at all, anyway? What locale uses it? Or for what context is it used? How can one enable it?) It's enabled by default, can be disabled using escape sequences. (Can also be disabled using an API, but that's meant to be a last resort kill switch, and needs small work in mate-terminal if you want to do it. It's not important to have it.) The locale does not matter. BiDi was implemented based on the proposal at https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/ , see there for further details. Wow, nice draft / document. Nice work!
