Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: I encountered that only on one page by now: http://www.israel-forum.co.il/www/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=10 And even there in most cases the problem is not present... At least right at this moment i cannot reproduce it... Actual Results: the words are ordered fine, but characters order is reversed in the words. (chars inside the word are ordered left-to-right) Expected Results: Characters order should be same as words order (right-to-left) on hebrew documents... 1. The page that had problems has dir=rtl set in <html> 2. The charset for the page is windows-1255 3. In case the problem appears, the page looks OK while it is being yet loaded, [may be noticed very well on slow connection] and then, after the page is fully loaded there is a complete reorder that reverses the order of chars in the words 4. The page has credits text at the bottom - and even when the problem appears and the whole page is with reversed order - the text in that credits footer is ALWAYS ok 5. As soon as i encounter this problem again i will create an attachment with full page contents at that moment (as - pity - i did not think about it at that very moment) 6. regardless to not saving the page content i did create a screenshot demonstrating a problem, and it is the image in the URL attached to this bug.
The URL returns Error 404 (page not found), probably due to the fact that this site has switched from phpBB to Invision Power Board. Marking INVALID. Prog.

That's right, the forum has switched to invisionboard since the time i filed the bug. This breaks the ability to reproduce - but since it was the only page i've run into showing this bug (and also quite a lot of new versions have been released) - this bug may no longer be relevant. vrfy invalid.
