Editor Selection Dialog

When running Eclipse is right-to-left mode, the Editor Selection dialog seems to display Bidirectional strings in left-to-right orientation.

Testcase:
- select any file in Package Explorer view
- right click on file and select Open With > Other ...
- see attached screenshots
- dialog on the left is how strings are currently displayed
- strings with only Bidi characters display okay
- however, strings with English and Bidi characters are displayed in left-to-right orientation and messing up display order of English words
- dialog on the right is a mark-up of how the strings should be displayed; pay close attention to the words enclosed in blue

This seems to be a problem only for the Editor Selection dialog. Please investigate.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
