Sample Java code inlcuding Bidi characters none

Description Tomer Mahlin CLA 2012-04-05 11:40:52 EDT 
When code includes Bidi (Arabic / Hebrew) characters (as part of comments, variable name, constants, function name, class names, package names) the display is not only mixed up but totally incomprehensible. 

The support present in regular Eclipse editor (based on StyledText widget) implemented via BidiSegmentListener is not present in Orion Editor. 

Adding Unicode Control Characters (UCC) "on the glass" as BidiSegmentListener does might not be an option for web based editor. The realistic option is to add UCC to the content and manage them during editing / copy / paste / selection / removal / cursor movement etc. operations. 

This kind of solution was already implemented in Eclipse for standard input fields. See bug 230854 for more details.
