Hebrew string get reversed when using '\r' in string while running in jdk 1.4
or above along with the BDO character \u202D. Whenever we try to set the
text of JTextField or JTextArea with the string containing '\r' character
along with Right to Left override character \u202D, the string gets displayed
in the reverse manner. This is not happening when the string is not preceded
by the RLO character. We are trying to insert the text with the characters
"\n\r" ( carriage return) so that the text following them will be shown in a
new line. But the string gets displayed in a reversed manner.
.
Suppose the String1 contains \u202Dh1h2h3 as the hebrew contents and string3
contains h4h5h6 and string2 contains \r\n. The expected behavior is
.
h3h2h1
h6h5h1
.
but the actual behaviour is
.
h1h2h3
h6h5h1

List steps to reproduce the problem(if applicable): STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Run the given testcase with jdk 1.4 or above and observe string get
reversed.
2) Remove the \u202d character from string1 and again run the test case, the
string will not get reversed
3)It will be working fine when running in jdk 1.3. Compare both the results
