Hebrew and Arabic diacritical marks can not be edited in JTextComponents

Name: jbT81659 Date: 11/17/99

To reproduce this bug for Arabic:
Compile and run the following code
Use space bar to move any character with diacritical mark to the right.
Note that diacritical mark does not move
Highlight diacritical mark and try to delete it.
Note it does not delete
note that highlighting is not correct where not all the diactric mark is highlighted each time
you highlight just one mark
Try to copy diacritical mark using CTRL+C
Note it is not copied
