Wrong display of Persian in editor

[MahanGM]

This is a problem that I've been facing it for a long time. Before 2014 version, it was just a minor problem with a reverse text selection, but now it's a big problem. Persian is a UTF language and right to left. This problem happens when I'm writing Persian strings in PHP files. When I write something like this:

Code: Select all

$var = "مقدار تست";

It'll show it in editor like this:

Code: Select all

$var = "مقدار تست"  ;

There are extra spaces between semi-column and the final double-quote which makes me put my cursor in wrong position when I want to select the string. Actually now I have to put my cursor exactly on semi-column to select my whole string from its right end and this is really bothering. Another problem which I've refereed to as in previous versions before 2014 is when I start to select these kinds of strings with Persian text in them, if I start from left double-quote, it'll contain characters from right of the string in highlighted area and if I start from right it'll start containing characters from left. It's like a reverse manner.

I think this goes for Arabic language too because it'll be written like Persian.

Thanks.

RTL languages and multi-code-point-per-character languages is something we really need to look at more carefully. Implementing these is not easy but we'll see what can be done for the next major version, at least research-wise.

Thank you for noticing. I'll look up to it.
