User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)

Go to http://www.wikipedia.org/ and mouse over one of the links in Arabic script (Farsi and Arabic are the first ones listed). Look at the status bar. There will be a gap between the Latin-alphabet section of the URL and the Arabic section.

This does not affect any other scripts, including right-to-left scripts (Hebrew), that I've seen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto http://www.wikipedia.org/
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No large gap between English and Arabic text in the statusbar

Expected Results:  
There should not be a large gap.

This issue appears to be fixed. The current version of Firefox in Ubuntu (2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2-0ubuntu0.7.10) spaces the URLs in the statusbar properly.
