Possible bidi issue with RTL support message shown when editing an LTR message.

Possible bidi issue with RTL support message shown when editing an LTR message.

Screenshot showing a bidi issue in the Persian (Farsi) translation

There is a bidi issue with the Persiaon (Farsi) translations at least, in the supportive message display in message edit pages, see attached screenshot.

  • The browser is: Iceweasel, a Mozilla Firefox clone.
  • The opperating system is: debian GNU/Linux.
  • The "browser string" is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010062510 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-3)

The issue was introduced during the last few hours. The display may have been incorrect before (I do not read Arabic/Farsi well enough to be able to tell) but at least the downarrow was at the left edge of the box, the RTL text was just right of it without an intervening space, and the right end of the box was as it is now. Inside the RTL text, there were brackets, and $1, looking just like in the LTR rows above.

Looks like BIDI algorithm doing what it does best: messing up display. Nothing special in that screenshot.
