Steps To Reproduce:
Note: treat Caps Lock latin letters as BiDi letters Hebrew\Arabic.
Prerequisite : use a workspace with BiDi characters.
i.e : c:\CBA\FED.
1. Run eclipse with -nl iw.
2. Go to "File->New->Project->Java Project..", press the "Next" button.
3. Notice that the workspace path is shown in RTL direction in the "Directory" text box.

Actual Result: The dir path is presented as such :
FED\CBA\:c

Expected Result: c:\CBA\FED

Note that this is correct for the Simple Project - moving to JDT which likely also just need to use the TextProcessor.

If you want to see how we handle this see ProjectContentsLocationArea#updateLocaltionField where we 

locationPathField.setText(TextProcessor.process(selectedPath));

Tod, What happens when you read out such a field. Will it contain the special characters?
Can a user remove the special characters?

I'm quite scared of having to add that code to setters of our input fields.

not planed for 3.3

If you copy and paste you will also get the special characters.

What about getText()? Can you use the string to find resources, or does it need to be converted back again?

Comment 6 Tod Creasey

You would need to deprocess in case the other code you were calling did not support these characters.

Bear in mind these are ONLY inserted in a BIDI Locale.

It seems that Platform UI has the same problem, e.g. in New Project wizard.
