Incorrect BiDi rendering for mixed RTL/LTR paths.

Post by ajaberi »

Description:
When the Outline contains a mixed-language path (a combination of RTL text such as Persian/Arabic and LTR segments such as English folder names), the rendering direction becomes incorrect. The RTL and LTR segments are not displayed in their proper order.
Windows File Explorer displays the same path correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

Create items in the outline with mixed RTL and LTR segments, for example:

پوشه اصلی/MainFolder/زیرشاخه/Sub


Observe the displayed order of the elements in the Outline.

Compare the rendering with Windows File Explorer.

Everything 1.5.0.1403a will now show the paths in the correct LTR order when they contain RTL text.
