Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 75011

Description

[trash4waseem]

Arabic letters are written differently when they are positioned in the
beginning, middle or at the end of a word. When selecting Arabic text, the first
selected letter changes to its equivilant letter used at the begnning of words
and the final selected letter always changes to its equivilant letter used at
end of words.

1- Go to any webpage that has Arabic text (ex: http://www.russoom.com/?lang=ar)
2- Start selecting text
3- You will notice that the letters start changing
