ayaniger->farzanehs:
On Windows, I tried on my Hebrew build of 2.0.4, as well as on the English 2.0.4
build I downloaded from this site. I also tried on Hebrew 2.0.4 on Debian Linux.
The behavior was fine in all versions. You report that the bug exists in 2.0.1.
I don't know whether something has been fixed since 2.0.1, or whether there's
something unique about your environment that I haven't reproduced. If you
download the English version of 2.0.4, and see what happens on that version in
your environment, we may have more info to work with.

ayaniger->farzanehs:
I think I know what the problem is. If "Options/Language Settings/Complex Text
Layout/Use sequence Checking" is set, I can reproduce the problem as well. This
is set by default, so if you clear that setting, the problem may go away. I have
already submitted a request in Issue 61863 that this default be changed, since
AFAIK it's relevant only for Thai, and it causes problems for Hebrew. Now I see
that it causes problems in Persian as well.

Thanks ayaniger, that fixes the problem.
so it seems that we could mark this issue as a duplicate of issue #61863 until
the latter is fixed.
