FS#11342 - bidi orientation

A mixed RTL with LTR text appears in a missed order not conforming to bidi logical to visual algorithm of unicdoe.

Implementation is ready in bidi_l2v() , but the “orientation” parameter is hardcoded and passed as “1” always

A suggested solution is either pass “orientation” as 0 for any RTL text, or tie the orientation parameter with the “alignment” option of the text viewer.

How do other softwares handle this? string analysis to detect if any character comes from an RTL language?

some software leave it a manual option for the user (e.g. ctrl+shift switch in microsoft notepad) and others perform the auto-detect function (e.g. google chat text box in gmail corrects the orientation and alignment once an Arabic character is entered)
