arabic RTL3.pdf: shows when mirroring changed from paragraphs to individual
characters

Back then, the entire textbox was passed to the mirrorString function. Using
insertUtf does fix it when compiling the 4.1 codebase. (make dev-install with
gcc 4.6 on Ubuntu 12.04, and running install/program/soffice.)

The paragraphElement switched to being composed of mostly individual character
elements (which don't get mirrored) instead of large chunks of text in LO 5.0
