After installing 1.5RC3, the Haaretz.co.il web site became almost unreadable since Hebrew sentences containing numbers became mixed.

The Hebrew in this web site used to work correctly in Firefox 1.0 and Deer Park Alpha 1.0/2.0.

Please see attached screenshot for Deep Park Alpha 1.0 behavior and 1.5RC3 behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL
2. View the page

Actual Results:  
Words and letters in Hebrew sentences are not displayed in the correct reading order

Expected Results:  
Hebrew should be displayed in the correct reading order, as it was before.
