Description amir CLA 2009-04-26 06:01:14 EDT 
Build ID: I20090313-0100

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Launch eclipse in mirrored mode (using dir -rtl attribute)
2. Create a simple project in workspace
3. Go to File -> New -> Example… -> Logic Diagram and create a logic diagram file
4. Create a label in the logic editor that opens up (by dragging a label –
under components – from the palette).
5. Type in some Bidi text in the label

Result: The label description in outline view has RTL text ordering and thus it is disordered. It should have LTR text direction in order to display it correctly.
See attached screenshot for illustration.

Resolution of BIDI defects are not in plan for Galileo. BIDI in text fields in
SWT applications are limited by issues in the base platform and there is no
plan to address these issues in Galileo.

Leaving open in case BIDI defects are looked at in a future release.
