Oh, also - same behavior with Hebrew. Same behavior in GTK text widgets. Same
behavior in Qt text widgets. What is this like in Office?

... I have the sense that this is just a somewhat unopportune choice in the
Unicode algorithm.

1. Your sample doesn't have dashes, it has minus signs. While those are often
used instead of dashes, they're not the same thing.
2. Suppose we treat the minus sign as a dash. Why would the dash not appear
_after_ the number, i.e. to the right of the number? It's reasonable to assume
that the dash will be followed by more text, in which case the placement is
valid.

What _could_ be a bug is:

1. If we treat the minus as a minus sign, which is obviously a possibility -
then it should be one number minus another number, so the minus should be
placed to the right of the digits.

2. If we treat the minus as a dash, the fact that it's directly adjacent to a
number suggests it is more likely to be continued by another number rather than
by an RTL character.

But what we really need to do is look at the Unicode bidirectional algorithm
(UAX 9) and see what is says on this matter. It's located here:

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/

it's not an easy read, though.
