:  That is not a bug. When going from right-to-left, the punctuation goes on
:  the left, not on the right.

i think what james(?) was trying to say was that it should all be right to
left and not just the punctuation.  for example:

!em hctaW

then again, i don't speak Hebrew.  maybe i'm really just smoking a bad batch
of crack.

thanks,
