This behavior isn't related to Unicode, it occurs with any similar BiDi pattern
(even with ISO-8859-8 pages). Now, since bug 207186 already deals specifically
with such issues, I will mark this one as a dupe and add the steps needed to
reproduce it with one of the existing testcases there.

Thanks for reporting this,

Prog.
