Your sample doesn't have dashes, it has minus signs. While those are > often used instead of dashes, they're not the same thing. 1. Yes you right it is like minus (HYPHEN-MINUS, decimal code 45). In english keyboard it is only one symbol with short horizontal line (except LOW LINE, decimal code 95 ). In Arabic keyboard i see symbol ـ (it is ARABIC TATWEEL), but it is have same problem. Temporary solution is use Ctrl + "-" (but it have visual problem, i will do new bug report) > 2. Suppose we treat the minus sign as a dash.

Yes, minus sign is show after the number i.e. to the left side of the number and if we continue type text it is show correct. But i not sure it is good for mathematics formulas inside arabic text (like Alice in mirrorland). 2. BUT if you type only numbers in empty paragraph or before (from begin) arabic text like "arabic_text 1-2-3-4-5" it is work good for RTL, but adding any arabic letter in begin of string will do mirror number to "... 5-4-3-2-1 ..." > > What _could_ be a bug is: > > 1.
