JTextField doesn't draw BiDi text correctly in the following cases. Cursor movement is also incorrect (loops within a part of the strings).

format: {logical order} -> [visual order] [(expected results)]
        (each capital alphabet represents an Arabic letter)

[Left to Right]
ABC 10 -> 10CBA (10 CBA)
ABC 10 20 -> *1 (20 10 CBA)
ABC 10 abc -> 10CBA abc (10 CBA abc)
ABC 10abc -> 10CAB abc (10 CBAabc)
10 ABC 20 -> 10 20CBA (10 20 CBA)
ABC 10 DEF -> FED 10CBA (FED 10 CBA)

[Right to Left]
-3ABC -> CBA-3 (-3ABC)

*1: JTextField freezes

  To reproduce: simply run the following applet and enter the above strings.

########## code ##########
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class swingTest extends JApplet {
  private JTextField jtf1;
  private JTextField jtf2;

  public void init() {

    jtf1 = new JTextField(30);
    jtf2 = new JTextField(30);

    jtf1.setFont(new Font("dialog", 0, 12));
    jtf2.setFont(new Font("dialog", 0, 12));

    jtf1.setBounds(new Rectangle(30, 30, 300, 30));
    jtf2.setBounds(new Rectangle(400, 30, 300, 30));

    jtf1.setText("");
    jtf2.setText("");

    jtf1.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
    jtf2.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT);

    Container c = getContentPane();
    c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

    c.add(jtf1);
    c.add(jtf2);
  }
}
