>Description:
When typing in data from a right-to-left language, such as Arabic languages or 
Hebrew, libedit gets confused as to cursor positioning.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enter text in such a right-to-left characters. Try moving the cursor around. 
See where the cursor ends up. Try refreshing and now see where the cursor is. 
Realize that digits are written left-to-right and potentially data could be in 
mixed character sets.
>Fix:
See the Unicode site to find out the information on which characters are 
displayed right-to-left.
