ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JLabels, JButtons, and presumably other JComponents that aren't editable render text
incorrectly when it starts with right-to-left text and ends with left-to-right text.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the test program. Buttons on the left let you try the test in different Looks & Feels, but this bug doesn't depend on the look and feel.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Each column will attempt to render a different string of text. Each column will try
to render its String using several different components. The string should get
rendered the same by every component that renders it. So for each column, the
same text should show in all its components.

ACTUAL -
When the string starts with Arabic text and ends with Roman text, it renders
the differen blocks of text in the wrong order. (A block of text is a contiguous
string of characters with the same directionality.) This is the case for the first
column and for the last column. In all cases, the JTextComponent subclasses
render the text properly. The ones that get it wrong are the JLabel and the JButton.
(Other test cases can be written to show that a CellRenderer for a JTable or JTree
 will also get it wrong.)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
