I haven't followed this discussion all along, so sorry if this has been
addressed, or if I'm misunderstanding you.
>4) Text selections, cursor movements and mouse hit-testing are done in a
strictly visual way, so they are more or less as easy as in non-bidi
editing.
My question is about strictly visual selection: I take this to mean that
when I select a region of text, the selected area is contiguous on the
display, but potentially discontiguous as far as the backing store is
concerned, e.g:
If CAPS are strong RTL:
Backing store: quick wafting zephyrs VEX BOLD JIM
Display: quick wafting zephyrs MIJ DLOB XEV
Does strict visual selection mean that I can select "zephyrs MIJ" ? I so,
what happens when I then type a character to replace the selection -- does
it end up between "wafting" and "VEX", or after "BOLD" ?
