           Summary: U+202E Right-to-Left Override does not display

          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)

A file displaying the problem.

The Unicode character U+202E Right-to-Left Override (RLO) should force all text
following it to be displayed right-to-left, overriding the normal direction of
the script.  Instead, in Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw, U+202E has no effect
on the direction of text and, depending on the font, may display as a box
instead of an invisible control character.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open any LibreOffice program.
2) Enter the character U+202E (Unicode direct input varies by OS, but
Ctrl+Shift+u,202e,return works on most Linux distros).
3) Type in any left-to-right script.
3a) Note that this bug does not appear if a right-to-left script has previously
been typed on the same line.

Actual behavior:
Input appears as normal.  U+202E may display as a box.

Expected behavior:
Characters should be displayed from right to left.

Documented in:
LibreOffice 3.3.2 (1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 from the Ubuntu repository, x64)
LibreOffice 3.3.3 (Fedora)
OpenOffice 3.3 (Windows 7 SP1 x64, 32-bit program)
