Hi 
 
i don't work with RTL languages often, so I may be
somewhat off track here but ...

 I'd actually expect the space to be at the left
of the _hebrew_field2 in your example

Spaces are neutral and
inherit directionality, so in your input field you can type a space then a
Hebrew word and that is visually rendered as a space to the right of the
word, i.e. "before" the word.

It is important to keep
in mind the distinction between visual and logical ordering. The logical
ordering is space "before" the Hebrew word. 

In a LTR
environment as in the address bar of a web browser, the space which is
logically first will be displayed to the left of the Hebrew word, i.e.
"before" the Hebrew word.

If you are attempting to
see a space to the right of the Hebrew word in the address bar you are
actually looking for a space "after" the Hebrew word.

Out of curiosity, if you insert a space at the beginning of an English
field is the space preserved?

Also out of curiosity, is the
space at the beginning of a Hebrew value necessary?
