Implement mouse highlight for bidi-reordered lines. xdisp.c (fast_find_string_pos): #ifdef away, not used anymore. (mouse_face_from_string_pos): New function, replaces fast_find_string_pos. (note_mouse_highlight): Call it instead of fast_find_string_pos. (note_mode_line_or_margin_highlight): Support bidi-reordered strings and R2L glyph rows. Fix comments. (note_mouse_highlight): When bidi reordering is turned on in a buffer, call next-single-property-change and previous-single-property-change with last argument nil. Clear mouse highlight when mouse pointer is in a R2L row on the stretch glyph that stands for no text beyond the line end. (row_containing_pos): Don't return too early when CHARPOS is in a bidi-reordered continued line. Return immediately when the first hit is found in a line that is not continued, or when an exact match for CHARPOS is found. (rows_from_pos_range): New function. (mouse_face_from_buffer_pos): Use it instead of calling row_containing_pos for START_CHARPOS and END_CHARPOS. Rewrite the function to support mouse highlight in bidi-reordered lines and not to assume that START_CHARPOS is always in mouse_face_beg_row. If necessary, swap mouse_face_beg_row and mouse_face_end_row so that the former is always above the latter or identical to it. (show_mouse_face): Support drawing highlighted R2L lines. (coords_in_mouse_face_p): New function, bidi-aware. (cursor_in_mouse_face_p, note_mouse_highlight, erase_phys_cursor): Call it instead of comparing with mouse-face members of dpyinfo. (note_mode_line_or_margin_highlight): Fix confusingly swapped usage of hpos and vpos.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please read the
Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on

(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have.

You can read the read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs.
Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info, then m Emacs RET to get to the
Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET to get to the section on bugs.
Or you can use the standalone Info program in a like manner.
(Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the
Emacs distribution.)

Printed copies of the Emacs manual can be purchased from the Free
Software Foundation's online store at <http://shop.fsf.org/>.

If necessary, you can read the manual without an info program:

    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"


Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
