Emacs "fix": (setq bidi-display-reordering nil) in relevant modes.

  I forced it globally, are there reasons that's bad to do? (setf (default-value 'bidi-display-reordering) nil) The BIDI issue looks pretty bad in emacs-gtk: the sneaky text is unnoticeable in lots of modes, unless the cursor just happens to scroll over it.

  Why did you put "fix" in quotes? Isn't that an actual fix for this?

    It's more of a workaround that breaks things for people legitimately using RTL strings isn't it?

      Yes. I recommend using whitespace-mode to cause these characters to be displayed visually, while still functioning correctly.
