Selection text incorrect for RTL langauges

[syakhmi]

Ace does not work correctly with RTL languages. For example, when viewing a file with Arabic/Persian/Urdu text, if you select a chunk of the text containing RTL text, and copy the selection to the clipboard or make a call to the copyText() function, the wrong text will be copied or returned. For example, if you select the first three RTL characters between

tags and copy them, instead the last three will be copied.

Hi, I have not tested RTL yet. Can you add a gist with an example document?

[syakhmi]

No problem. I created a sample html file with some Urdu RTL text in it, as well as a plain text file with only RTL text contained. The problem with selection always occurs with the plain text file, and with the html file whenever the entire RTL substring (for example, between

tags) is not selected. https://gist.github.com/869900

Thanks. I just checked how the browser handles it. This will be tough to support and may take some time.
