I took a look at CodeEditor's code trying to figure out a fix for at least the weird selection, but i soon give up.. still learning C++ let alone U++. But i can definitely help with testing Arabic though.
By the way, RichText displays Arabic and Hebrew perfectly,

That is actually sort of surprising. On what system are you?

Absolutely, that is the plan.

Unfortunately, left-to-right was fixed into U++ internals at the beggining (which is now 20 years ago) and nobody had guts to fix that ever since. There will be a lot of changes before we are there. But I am willing to give it a try!
