Arabic issue #22: qTextEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight) problems.

[Munzir Taha]

With Qt::AlignRigth the text is aligned to the right but whenver I press space 
while typing Arabic the cursor jumps every time to the begining of the line 
and again to the correct position when a letter is typed. This is very 
distracting. If more than one space is pressed the cursor would go out of the 
window and hence can't even be seen. Tabs in the beginning of the line 
doesn't show and in the middle of a text push go in the wrong direction!

Another more serious issue happen when I type 1-2 ARABIC (that's 1 first then 
a dash then 2 then ARABIC letters) like the case in outline numbering at the 
beginning of a paragraph it displays as  ARABIC 1-2 (that's beginning from 
the right 2 then a dash then 1 then the ARABIC) instead of ARABIC 2-1 so 
though I mean section 1 subsection 2, it will be read section 2 subsection 1!

I filed a similar bug to OpenOffice.org with screenshots in case it's not 
clear.

I should mention that I also setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);

This has been fixed. Thanks. But now a TAB after an Arabic text show no jump 
on screen!
Using Qt version 4.0.0-rc1-snapshot-20050523

Generally speaking the order of the numbers 1 and 2 when typing 1-2 ARABIC 
should not be affected whether we have Arabic text before it. The case now it 
DOES make a difference.
